VOICED: Japanese self-teaching robot could bring sci-fi to reality

The video discusses the development of a self-learning robot by researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology. Unlike traditional robots, this robot can learn new tasks by accessing and analyzing information from the Internet. The robot uses a system called 'sewing' to filter and apply relevant data, allowing it to perform tasks like serving a drink without prior programming. The researchers aim to use this technology for elderly care and are working on teaching the robot moral values.
