Robots can now complete tasks by simply observing humans

It's hard to suppress the gnawing anxiety that every human being on this planet will be completely redundant within a decade. And thanks to NVIDIA, that process is about to be accelerated. NVIDIA announced Sunday that a team of researchers has built a first-of-its-kind deep learning-based system that allows robots to learn how to do a task by simply watching human beings do that task. The technology is designed to enhance communication between humans and robots, and help them work more seamlessly together in the workplace. That's what they want you to think.
