  • Researchers in Japan have developed a robot capable of peeling a banana without crushing the fruit inside.
  • 2
  • While the two-armed machine is only successful 57 percent of the time, banana peeling points to a future where machines could do more sensitive, skillful kinds of work.
  • 3
  • Video from researchers at the University of Tokyo showed the robot pick up and peel a banana with both hands in about three minutes.
  • 4
  • Researchers Heecheol Kim, Yoshiyuki Ohmura and Yasuo Kuniyoshi trained the robot using a "deep imitation learning" process.
  • 5
  • In this training, they showed the banana-peeling action hundreds of times to the robot to produce enough data for the robot to learn the actions and copy them.
  • 6
  • In this case, the banana reached its success rate after more than 13 hours of training.
  • 7
  • While the experiment requires more testing, Kuniyoshi believes his method can teach robots to do different simple "human" tasks.
  • 8
  • He hopes the better-trained robots can help with Japan's labor shortage problems, particularly in food-processing factories that currently depend on human workers.
