In robotics, these algorithms could enable machines to adapt better to the unexpected, for example by adjusting their behaviour according to changes in their environment.

The research is published today in the pre-eminent robotics journal Science Robotics.

Fields ranging from robotics to medicine to political science are attempting to train AI systems to make meaningful decisions of all kinds.

“People are trying to weaponise these dogs,” Cummings adds, citing a Chinese model with an attached rifle which she learned about at a robotics meeting this week.

The field of fast-food robotics is littered with companies that failed in their attempts to disrupt the restaurant industry.
