WATCH: How to train your robot

For years, factories have been programming robotic arms to do various tasks at factories that are repetitive and that require extreme precision. These robots are stepping off the assembly lines, ready to help humans manage small operations.

A company called Tend.ai is helping prospective robot owners to train their mechanical labor to perform machine-tending similar to what robots do in factories, Tech Crunch reported. Not a single code needs to be written by users, thanks to the cloud-based system that the company developed.

Using a webcam-and-app combination or simply pulling the collaborative robots by hand, users can train them to do tasks that can be repeated indefinitely, as if the robot were in a mini-production line.

There’s no danger of these small robots taking over jobs just yet as the company that makes them is still relatively new. Also, AI learning is not yet as sophisticated, but for now the robots will be ready to serve their human overlords 24/7.  Alfred Bayle
