They demonstrated their technique, a type of reinforcement learning, by having a robot complete various tasks \u2014 putting a clothes hanger on a rack, assembling a toy plane, screwing a cap on a water bottle, and more \u2014 without pre-programmed details about its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>And for some upcoming innovations:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.wsj.com\/digits\/2015\/05\/28\/apple-buys-german-augmented-reality-firm-metaio\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Apple buys German Augmented-Reality firm Metaio<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from wsj.com by Daisuke Wakabayashi<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Addendum on 6\/1\/15:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thememo.com\/2015\/05\/12\/a-touchscreen-on-your-kitchen-table-touchjet-pond-turns-any-surface-touchable\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>A touchscreen on your kitchen table?
