Google TossingBot uses physical intuition to grasp and throw objects accurately
TossingBot the robot learns to pick up, handle and throw things it's not familiar with: https://robotreporters.com/tossingbot...
The picking robot visually recognizes the object and learns what kind of result will occur when throwing the object by repeating the action of actually throwing the object, and how to get the desired result. Tossingbot is a combination of physics and deep learning.
A fundamental component of TossingBot is that it learns to throw by integrating simple physics and deep learning, which enables it to train quickly and generalize to new scenarios.
