Robots can train themselves using AI

With the EES algorithm, the robot can use the visual system to observe its surroundings and assigned tasks. Then, based on the robot's performance, the algorithm will automatically create training exercises to improve weak skills.

EES was tested by researchers on Boston Dynamics' robot dog Spot. As a result, after being equipped with this algorithm, Spot was able to learn how to perform more complex tasks on its own.

Robots that can train themselves using AI are a significant advance in the field of artificial intelligence and robotics. This achievement promises to open up vast application potential in many fields, from industry to services.

However, it also raises the question 'is this a potential threat' in terms of control and the dangers of robots becoming too intelligent. Some experts worry that robots could become a threat to humans if they can learn and develop on their own. This is especially more dangerous if they are used for military purposes.

According to researchers at MIT, EES is designed to help robots perform simple tasks more effectively. However, the possibility of this algorithm being exploited for malicious purposes cannot be ruled out.

Is this a great step forward for humanity or the beginning of a new era full of risks? The answer is still open and needs to be closely monitored in the near future.
