This clip comes from the BBC Horizon documentary, The Hunt for AI and is absolutely incredible. In it, these two robots learn how to move their own bodies by observing their movements in a mirror. Then, it moves on to the two robots teaching each other their own new, unique language. The scientists featured, from the Neurobotics Research Laboratory, believe that a truly artificial intelligence is one that is allowed to develop on its own, as young children do. So this research project’s focus was to explore how “complex grammatical systems and behaviors can emerge in populations of robotic agents.”
