US scientists are building autonomous robots that can learn directly from researchers

SMRTR summary

Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are building AI-powered robots that learn lab procedures by observing human researchers wearing motion-capture sensors. Called RoSA, the project is part of a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to double American research productivity within a decade. The robots could eventually handle repetitive or hazardous lab work, and the team expects a fivefold improvement in task efficiency within the next year.
