Artificial intelligence is being app<\/a>lied to virtually every aspect of our work and recreational lives. From determining calculations for the construction of towering skyscrapers to designing and building cruise ships the size of football fields, AI is increasingly playing a key role in the most massive projects.<\/p>\n

But sometimes, all we want to do is move a can of beans.<\/p>\n

According to a recently published abstract by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, they have developed a mechanism that “couples a perception pipeline predicting a target object occupancy support distribution with a mechanical search policy that sequentially selects occluding objects to push to the side to reveal the target as efficiently as possible.”<\/p>\n

In other words, they’ve trained a robot to find and move items on a shelf.<\/p>\n

Teams of researchers at both Google and Berkeley have been working on ways to apply AI to this most mundane of activities. In fact, improving the means of finding and selecting objects is at the heart of industrial processes, scientific laboratories, health care, grocery stores, computer components and countless other commercial and manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

“For instance, a service robot at a pharmacy or hospital may need to find supplies from a cabinet, an industrial robot may need to find kitting tools from shelves in warehouses, or a service robot in a retail store may need to search shelves for requested products from customers,” stated Huang Huang and nine of his Berkeley colleagues in a white paper titled, “Mechanical Search on Shelves using Lateral Access X-RAY.”<\/p>\n
