The robot which learns like a child
21 October 2015 Last updated at 01:10 BST
A robot which learns like a child - by trial and error - has been developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.
Brett (Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks) used its deep learning algorithm to perform various tasks from putting hangers on a rack to screwing a cap on a bottle of water.
The researchers believe that if a robot can learn autonomously, it will be more successful at completing tasks in the real world.
