New Tech: Robots are Learning Without Human Programming

New Tech: Robots are Learning Without Human Programming: "University of Arizona researcher Ian Fasel is building self-teaching robots, robots that are learning to perform tasks with very little human programming. Humans have trained robots to build vehicles, fly airplanes, and perform surgery.

Because robots have no concept of self, nor do they truly understand what it is they are programmed to do, says Fasel, an assistant research professor of computer science, they are often are unable to problem solve – a design and implementation glitch that is the focus of Fasel's research -improving what robots are able to understand and learn, but without the aid of human programming."
