 Meet the new Brett. Berkeley researchers who built Brett's brain, so to speak, first programmed him to learn how to complete a task by trial and error, kind of like how a toddler tries to assemble a toy. But that's so 2015. Now, Brett's learning much faster how to carry out a task. Better yet, you don't need a computer science degree to show him how to do it. Researchers trained Brett to do simple tasks like picking up an apple and putting it on a plate, simply by showing him physically how to do it. The researchers use virtual reality to act as a sort of puppet master, guiding Brett's arm through the movements. After only about a half hour of practice, during which researchers slightly changed the position of the objects each time, Brett was able to go it solo, achieving the task by watching and guiding his own movements. Brett learned how to do 10 different tasks this way. It seems like only yesterday that Brett needed a lot more programming and time to get that toy airplane piece into place. And now, more grown-up, Brett just needs to be shown how it's done and he's off on his own.
