A dog that is
intelligently designed can walk on unfamiliar and hard-to-master terrain, such
as grass. Now, scientist have done the same with robotic dogs,
Now, Sergey Levine at the University of
California, Berkeley, and his colleagues have demonstrated that a robot using a
kind of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning can work out how to
walk in about 20 minutes in several different environments, such as a grass
lawn, a layer of bark, a memory foam mattress and a hiking trail.
Intelligent design in nature is so evident that it is becoming increasingly difficult to deny it. In recent years, researchers have copied many amazing designs they have seen in the animal kingdom.
This isn’t something that Darwin’s blind
watchmaker, natural selection, works, in that the dogs stride may be useful in microrobots. .
