Students of the Cornell University in the U.s. state of New York have a robot is developed that is simple, spoken tasks in the kitchen can perform. Behind the robot is a system that through algorithms speech can translate into simple tasks.

Tell me Dave recognizes certain keywords from the user-spoken sentences and connects them as a task or multiple tasks. So, the robot will, for example, when they hear ‘pot’ to a pot like that and this to hold it.

On the basis of the commands which he performs, teaches the robot how he this with fewer commands can execute. Also, the robot tasks in different environments in a number of ways to perform using results that stem from a small game. In the game, users will get a number of tasks are presented that they need to perform. Then translates the game to the way users perform the tasks, into commands for the robot.

This allows the robot a task to perform, as he certain key commands are missing. So he would have a task as filling a cup with water from itself, a command to add first a cup to locate and tackle. All tasks are collected in a database and they are also in a virtual kitchen demonstrated.

Tell me Dave also knows what the object is and where each object should. He knows that as soon as the faucet is turned, water comes out; that of a milk carton milk and the heating of the contents of a pan is done on a stove or in an oven. Each object in a kitchen also gets a number, so that the robot additional information about it can remember. So he can know, for example, that cup, 1 empty cup 2 milk contains. The goal of the researchers is to use a robot to develop simple tasks such as make coffee or tea for people can perform with the help of a basics like ‘put a cup of coffee’.

The learn to understand language and commands by machines has been around for decades in development and has been put to practical use in services like Apple’s Siri, Google Now and Microsoft’s Cortana.
