The MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory has developed a virtual home project called Virtual Home to train the artificial intelligence to be placed on the home robots.

Everyone who grows up watching the robot character Irona, who is doing housework in the Jetgiller cartoon, is enjoying the days when he will hand over household chores to the robots. There are a lot of technology companies trying to develop robots that will help people in their daily work but there is a major problem. I need to do experiments in the home environment to improve these robots. When we bring robots that are not ready yet into the home environment, we face the risk of breaking the household items.

MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) has developed a virtual home project called Virtual Home to train artificial intelligence for home robots. Thus, the artificial intelligence can perform the pouring process in the virtual environment without damaging any physical material. The goal here is to teach how artificial intelligence can be passed on to specific commands. In this way, the robot, which draws lessons from its mistakes in the virtual environment, can help us effectively in real life.

Looks like Sims

VirtualHome looks a lot like the popular computer game The Sims. Artificial intelligence, designed in the form of humanistic avatars, moves around in a house similar to Sims' own and does his assigned tasks. Artificial intelligence knows that when he says 'watch television' he has to sit on the television in front of the television in front of the television, to find the commander and to get his hand. But it does not seem very successful in sitting in a comfortable position.

A person can easily learn these kinds of commands, but existing artificial intelligence systems need to provide step-by-step instructions to understand these commands.

Similar studies were done

This is not the first study to teach algorithms to give commands to robots that a person uses at home. In 2017, researchers at Brigham Young University read Wikipedia to train an artificial intelligence system. Thus, the artificial intelligence was intended to learn which words were used together in the same context.

Using VirtualHome, MIT researchers have taught over 1000 different tasks that can be given to an artificial intelligence home robot. Among these tasks are tasks such as bringing something from another room, making coffee, or cooking in January.

One day, robots trained in this way can help older people or those who have difficulty doing housework. Ordinary people can also do household chores for such robots. But it's also fun to watch them try to learn something for as long as it's useful.
