Armar is a humanoid robot at the University of Karlsruhe. It uses Proprioceptive Learning which engages all of its sensors to detect and classify objects. Cameras look at colour, shape and size, while tactile sensors measure features such as softness and microphones pick up sounds. Household helper robots need all these skills and more. Start writing up the job descriptions and contracts. [...]

You can see that probably he can’t recognize the cups unless they are colored – and that looks very cheap. Some stuff can look convincing -i.e. opening the door, taking the rack out- but it could be just a routine. Those colored cups are suspicious that he doesn’t have much intelligence.

After all, the dishwasher routine is pretty complicated. The dishes may be positioned unexpectedly, and their individual locations would be unknown. The robot would have to use its visual servoing and its knowledge of each object in order to grasp each one properly.

Also, the demo where the robot searches for an object and retrieves it is pretty complicated too for similar reasons. It seems like a good method for solving some of these basic problems.

I don’t think that’s the right way because there’s no intelligence. For each thing to learn he has a preprogrammed routine so it’s just an upgrade to those robots that run only preprogrammed routines. They should throw all that OpenXXX stuff away and begin from scratch to work on a real artificial intelligence – i.e. make the learning more universal not 1 thing to learn = 1 routine.
