An Intelligence That Can See Its Own Future Created by Scientists

Researchers from UC Berkeley have created a technology that allows robots to imagine how their actions will turn out in the future. Using this approach, the robots are able to interact with objects that they've never come across previously. The way the technology helps the robots predict the future is called visual foresight. It gives the robotic system an ability to anticipate what future actions, like a series of movements, would look like in its camera. In essence, a robotic imagination is invoked, allowing predictions several seconds into the future.
