Researchers develop "robotic apprentices"

PC Pro: Researchers develop "robotic apprentices": "University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence that can learn by watching 'experts' perform a task.

The artificial intelligence was developed by Stanford University for use in robotic helicopters which learn to fly and perform stunts by watching 'expert' helicopters perform the same tasks, rather than by having software engineers input every individual instruction."
