Teaching a robot new skills used to require coding expertise. But a new generation of robots could potentially learn from just about anyone.Engineers are designing robotic helpers that can “learn from demonstration.” This more natural training strategy enables a person to lead a robot through a task, typically in one of three ways: via remote control, such as operating a joystick to remotely maneuver a robot; by physically moving the robot through the motions; or by performing the task themselves while the robot watches and mimics.Learning-by-doing robots usually train in…
