Your next sous-chef in the kitchen may be a robot.
Semiconductor giant Nvidia has debuted its 'kitchen manipulator' robot that uses AI and machine learning to be able to identify ingredients.
The hope is that as the robot gets smarter, it can one day work alongside humans to help cook a meal.

Your next sous-chef in the kitchen may be a robot. Nvidia has debuted its 'kitchen manipulator' robot that uses AI and machine learning to be able to identify ingredients
Nvidia's kitchen robot is just one of several other robots in development at the firm's new lab in Seattle, which is meant to oversee all of its robotics projects.
The lab's focus is on 'cobots,' or robots that are trained to perform complex tasks and work next to humans.
Cobots could play a role in factories, hospitals, helping people with disabilities and, now in the house, or more specifically, the kitchen.
'Collaborative robotics, we might even call it the holy grail of robotics right now,' Nathan Ratliff, a distinguished research scientist at Nvidia, explained.
'It's one of the most challenging environments to get these robots to operate around people and do helpful helpful things in unstructured environments.'
The 'kitchen manipulator' uses AI and deep learning to detect and track objects, as well as take note of where doors and drawers are in the kitchen, Nvidia said.

It can even open and close drawer doors on its own.
'We want to develop robots that can naturally perform tasks alongside people,' said Dieter Fox, who leads the lab, in a statement.
'To do that, they need to be able to understand what a person wants to do and figure out how to help her achieve a goal.'
After the robot detects the objects in its surroundings, that data is used to generate 'continuous perceptual feedback' of where they are if they're moved, if they fall or their position changes in any way.
Information is then fed to a motion generation layer of the machine learning software, which enables the robot to make 'real-time, fast, reactive, adaptive and human-like motion,' Ratliff said.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang interacts with a new robot at the unveiling of the company's new robotics research lab in Seattle. The lab's focus is on cobots, or collaborative robots
The goal is for the kitchen manipulator to be able to handle dirty dishes, retrieve ingredients and cook alongside humans.
'One of the most challenging collaborative domains is the kitchen environment,' Ratliff explained.
'So we've chosen that as a test bed so we can develop a lot of these technologies, study the system in this space and take a lot of what we learn and apply them across the board to these other collaborative domains.'
HOW DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE LEARN?
AI systems rely on artificial neural networks (ANNs), which try to simulate the way the brain works in order to learn.
ANNs can be trained to recognise patterns in information - including speech, text data, or visual images - and are the basis for a large number of the developments in AI over recent years.
Conventional AI uses input to 'teach' an algorithm about a particular subject by feeding it massive amounts of information.

Practical applications include Google's language translation services, Facebook's facial recognition software and Snapchat's image altering live filters.
The process of inputting this data can be extremely time consuming, and is limited to one type of knowledge.
A new breed of ANNs called Adversarial Neural Networks pits the wits of two AI bots against each other, which allows them to learn from each other.
This approach is designed to speed up the process of learning, as well as refining the output created by AI systems.

Age: 18
Height: 5ft 1in
Weight: 8st
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.”
