This Robot Uses Machine Learning to Take Care of Absent-Minded Humans From: IEEE Spectrum - 05/20/2016 By: Evan Ackerman There are all kinds of apps that will remind you to do things, which is great, if you remember to ask them to remind you to do things. At IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation yesterday, researchers from Cornell and Stanford presented a project called Watch-Bot, which can independently learn your household activity patterns to provide you with helpful reminders. If you leave the milk out, or forget to turn a monitor off, or leave food in the microwave, the robot will figure out on its own that you forgot to do something and then gently remind you.
