The team behind the iCub robot believes it, like
children, will learn best from its own experiences.
The technologies developed on the iCub platform
such as grasping, locomotion, interaction, and
even language-action association are of great
relevance to furtheer advances in the field of industrial service robotics.
The EU-funded RobotCub project, which designed
the iCub, will send one each to six European
research labs. Each of the labs proposed winning
projects to help train the robots to learn about
their surroundings just as a child woould.
