A robot that can quickly dig a bottle of milk out of the depths of a cluttered fridge has been created by a team of British scientists. The artificial intelligence does this by combining automated planning — based on images taken of the objects — with trial-by-error learning. Alongside rearranging fridge contents, the same setup could be applied to allow robots to perform various similar tasks — such as locating items in a warehouse. The robot is capable of generalising — applying what it has learnt to each unique set of circumstances, explained Mr Bejjani.
