A robot equipped with artificial intelligence has just defeated, for the first time, a human in a physics and puzzle game. Researchers from the University of Zurich, Switzerland, presented their robot, CyberRunner, this Tuesday, December 19.
It is the first artificial intelligence that has completed a game that mixes reflection and physical ability in less time than a human, reveals the Euronews channel. It is a small maze where the player must take a ball to the end without letting it fall into the different holes located on the course.
The robot managed to complete its task in less than six hours, the time it would take a human to complete it. Artificial intelligence uses a machine learning algorithm, which means it learns from its mistakes in real time.
A world first
If artificial intelligences had already defeated the grandmasters of chess or Go, none had yet surpassed humans in a game that mixes reflection and mobility.
The University of Zurich researchers behind the project said they will make their project and report available as open source, to encourage others to work on similar projects.
“For less than $200, everyone can participate in cutting-edge artificial intelligence research. When thousands of CyberRunners are available, it will be possible to start large-scale experiments and learn in parallel,” said Raffaello D’Andrea, one of the researchers. . behind the project.
