Scientists have showcased an 'ambidextrous' robot that can learn different ways of moving their arms grippers to pick up objects in the most effective way.
Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, have created a system that allows robots with multiple arms to analyse and rapidly decide which grip would pick up an object most successfully.
The latest invention could help speed up processing in warehouses for e-commerce companies.
By determining which type of grip is the most likely to succeed, the robot is able to operate quickly on a feedback loop.
The system uses a 'reward function' assigned to each type of gripper which the robot then calculates the probability of each type of grip succeeding on a specific item.
The researchers said their two-armed robot had achieved a 95% reliability rate.
Jeff Mahler, the research's lead author and a postdoctoral researcher at the university said: 'Any single gripper cannot handle all objects.'
'For example, a suction cup cannot create a seal on porous objects such as clothing and parallel-jaw grippers may not be able to reach both sides of some tools and toys.'
As e-commerce companies become increasingly reliant on machinery to cope with growing order demands, robotics could play important roles in future warehouses.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
