Now Google’s robotics lab focuses on machine learning

Google has teamed up with researchers from

Princeton,

Columbia

MIT

to create TossingBot, which can learn how to pick up and toss various objects into the right containers on its own.

During its first rodeo, the mechanical arm didn’t know what to do with the pile of objects it was presented with.

After 14 hours of trial and error and analyzing them with its overhead cameras, it was finally able to toss the right item into the right container 85 percent of the time.
