See Smart Robots Learn to Play Like Human Children

BRETT is a robot that can think. Researchers at UC Berkeley have programmed BRETT to learn on its own, through trial and error, how to accomplish tasks like screwing a cap on a bottle, putting Lego blocks together, and solving a simple puzzle. It’s all made possible by something called a neural network, a type of computer algorithm that is revolutionizing artificial intelligence. (Video by: Alan Jeffries, Justin Beach, Christian Capestany)

How does the robot know he succeeded once he screw the bottle cap?

[@primodernious]

there is a big problem they have not solved yet. you can't just input one type of data and then get a different type of data on the output. you can only teach it one type of action, one or the other. if you input different patterns of different type of work like image data and movement data in the same network, the program get confused.
