MIT's new robot learned by watching.

  MIT's new robot learned by watching. 

The new breakthrough in AI and robotics is a tool that can learn like humans. Those robots can look at the monitor and then learn and repeat those things. That means the robot is easier to teach, and no programming is needed. The ability to learn like humans makes robots more versatile. But the thing is that those robots are only one part of the AI-based tools. 

The robot can act as a medium that transmits data that it collects to the AI-central computers. And basically, the AI can learn things by using any camera system in the world. That gives the ultimate possibilities for the AI. If we think that the AI learns to drive, it's possible to use the robot as the medium. 

The robot sits in the classroom and drives a car following orders that the instructor gives. Then the system can transfer those models to the robot vehicles. Or, maybe the driver robot includes the service if somebody buys a robot car. The man-shaped robot can carry things like luggage to the car. And the same robot can wash the car and clean the house if its master wants. 

The problem with a human-shaped robot is that it can do the same things as a human. The human-shaped robots can learn things simply by looking at things on TV. That makes it possible to use the regular movies to train robots in civil and military actions. The thing is that the robot's shape must not look like a man, so that it learns things. The robot aircraft, or drone, or robot car can use the same methodology as a human-shaped robot to learn new tricks. 

Digital twins can make it easier to teach AIs. The digital twin can be the character that a person drives in computer game-type simulations. The digital twin can be the tool that helps to see how the system controls the real robot. The digital twin can also make it possible to advance reactions. That physical robots can face in their missions. The digital twin makes it possible for that system to advance AI. And test the AI and program's ability to respond to challenges. 

The AI can use things like aircraft or satellites to record maneuvers that potentially hostile actors make. Then the AI can drive those maneuvers in the digital simulation. Or simulate a battlefield and create counter-maneuvers to that thing. In the same way, the AI can collect data from the flight profiles of the aircraft, and then the system starts to create counter modes for that maneuver. This is the thing that makes the AI an effective tool in civil and military operations.
