This is the first A.I. YouTube video I see without any stupid Skynet comments. There is hope.

Hi CodeJeffo, you can find details of the model in the following paper...

Morse, A. F., De Greeff, J., Belpaeme, T., & Cangelosi, A., (2010) Epigenetic Robotics Architecture (ERA). IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development. 2(4), p. 325-339

It is still early days for this model but I don't think we are cheating ;-)

and as it happens the generalization you mention in this paper...

Morse, A.F., Baxter, P., Belpaeme, T., Smith, L.B., Cangelosi, A., (2011 – in press) The Power of Words and Space. Proceedings of the joint International Conference on Developmental Learning (ICDL) & Epigenetic Robotics 2011

quite interesting. But to be frankly you are probably cheating. That's too easy to understand the difference like ORANGE ball and BLUE car. Why don't you show how that lovely robot GENERALIZE knowledge ... show them BLUE ball and ORANGE car and we'll see. At this point I am not convinced at all that it is learning based on rgb based segmentation and using this information. I wish that I am not true :) Good luck!

very cool, its needs more intense training.

They could just give him a dictionary....and let him learn.

I doubt that this program can learn to recognize a piano key.

[sabtubet]

This is amazing. I wonder what they'll be able to do in ten years from now, or decades. I expect drastic changes, no doubt!

ITS GONNA TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

no serieusly, its awesome xD

[wlorenz65]

@OmgEffect Humans are "taking over the world", i.e. inventing new words for existing objects and procedures. iCub just stores them.

[programmzero]

its adorable too

[mfirebird3000]

cool
