Fanuc's 'Proto-Intelligence' technology to teach robots human skills

Bots at home or at a factory assist humans in different tasks. But, do they prove to be at human level of efficiency? This matter has become the top concern of experts Suzanne Gildert and Geordie Rose. These bots need to have human skills for flexible assistance.
Suzanne Gildert and Geordie Rose run a secretive artificial intelligence company named Kindered centered in Vancouver, British Columbia. They aim to teach bots to be able to act on their own. The aim of artificial intelligence is to make the bots smart and skillful.
The company is trying to reach to a supper level of bots performance. The basic physical tasks like holding objects are of central importance. Company has accomplished advancement in image recognition and speech skills of the bots. But the physical aptness is still a challenge the Kindered is trying to meet.
Fanuc, maker of the industrial robots, now partnering with Nvidia, has launched initiative to add artificial intelligence to its robots. Fanuc is aiming at making his robots process, respond and recognize the environment around clearly.
Fanuc is also having the idea that a machine will feed what it has learnt into a neural work. The other robots can learn from it and contribute to it as well. This idea of Fanuc is brilliant as robots learn faster while learning together.
On the other hand Gildert, at Kindered has another idea in mind. She looks forward to adding "proto-intelligences" to teach robots human skills. This technology will be one day artificial intelligence of human-level.
Kindered is planning to partner with active industrial robotics companies to introduce its work to the real world. They will make multi-purpose robots that are smart at leaning anything. From conducting a symphony to packing things in boxes, they will do everything only by watching humans' practical life.
Rose wishes to build multi-purpose robots in future with human capabilities and this will be a first-time accomplishment!
