Cornell University researchers have created a robot capable of self-awareness, learning and adapting — all keys to the intelligence and technology needed for robots to function in adverse and changing environments. The Cornell researchers said their robot did not rely on predetermined models of movement in order to learn how to walk on its four legs. When the researchers removed one of the legs, the machine was able to adjust for the difference and eventually walk on three legs.
