Robots are learning to talk in a completely new language

Robots have communicated with each other using a shared language they made up as they went along in an amazing new experiment. Experts at Elon Musk's artificial intelligence lab have taught robots to start their own language so they could help each other complete simple tasks. In the future, researchers hope that as the language becomes more complex they will have a'translator bot' who will be able to convert robot chat into English. Experts created a two dimensional world to navigate and the robots - or agents - were four coloured circles - green, red and blue. This layout allowed the robots to communicate with each other in order to complete tasks.
