Are you troubled by housework, such as cleaning tables or tidying your room? A new robot is here to help! Recently, the robot Mobile Aloha made by scientists at Stanford University in the US became popular online.
In the videos posted, we can see the robot preparing dishes on its own, from cutting vegetables to cracking (打破) eggs. It's also good at watering plants, petting cats, cleaning the floor and washing clothes. It even knows to shake the pillow (枕头) after putting it into a pillowcase (枕套).
Sounds good? Well, another video posted by researchers may disappoint some people. Mobile Aloha isn't good at doing housework on its own. Instead, it learns from human actions before doing each kind of housework. When the situation changes, it can't work well without a human "teaching" it. So it may break dishes, bump into (撞上) things and even burn a pot.
The robot can successfully move chairs 80 percent of the time said the team after they did more research on it. For cooking dishes, it's only 40 percent. In short, it's far from perfect.
In fact, AI robots are good at tasks such as math and playing chess, but they face challenges when it comes to simpler actions like cleaning. And it's the same for Mobile Aloha. For example, if its body doesn't move correctly—even just with a small deviation, its arm may move too far to pick up a glass.
"Robots are not ready to take over the world," the team posted on the Internet.
