Intel Labs research helps robots learn new objects after deployment - The Robot Report

The iCub robot, developed by the Italian Institute of Technology, modeling human learning and development in a real-world setting. Intel Labs, in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology and the Technical University of Munich, introduced a new approach to neural network-based object learning that uses interactive online object learning methods. This approach gives robots the ability to learn new objects after deployment autonomously. The approach is meant to make possible future applications like robotic assistants interacting with unconstrained environments possible. These robots could be at work in logistics, healthcare or elderly care.
