Robot taught to throw pancakes (Video)

Looking at such robots, I understand that artificial intelligence , colorfully demonstrated by Spielberg, will not be realized in such a “cinema” form yet. Okay, there won't be lyrics. Here is the work of Peter Kormushev (Petar Kormushev) and Sylvain Calion (Sylvain Calinon) from the Italian Institute of Technology. Having demonstrated to the Barrett WAM 7 DOF manipulator a couple of times how to throw pancakes, scientists hoped that the machine would learn to repeat the given actions. However, it took about 50 attempts to refine the pancake flipping algorithm.
