AI researchers who develop machine learning algorithms have demonstrated that telling a machine to teach itself how to do a certain task is a pretty great strategy. Trial and error over countless attempts often results in a machine or program that is highly skilled.
A new research effort took that concept to an entirely different level by not only tasking a robot with completing an objective, but also forcing it to learn about itself in the process. The robot, which had to figure out that it is a robot, didn’t even know what its own body looked like when the tests began, but that quickly changed.
