Robots learn to throw pancakes (Video)

Looking at such robots, I understand that the artificial intelligence colorfully demonstrated by Spielberg will not be realized in such a “cinema” form soon. Well, the lyrics will not. Before you are the work of Petr Kormushev (Petar Kormushev) and Silviana Calion (Sylvain Calinon) from the Italian Institute of Technology. After demonstrating a Barrett WAM 7 DOF manipulator a couple of times how to throw pancakes, the scientists hoped that the machine would learn to repeat the given actions. However, it took about 50 attempts to fine-tune the pancake coup algorithm.
