Are Autodidactic Robots Coming to Industry?

Why is AlphaGo such a momentous step in Artificial Intelligence? What does it have to do with robotic depalletizing? In this post, we investigate how recent advances in self-learning programs are making industrial robotics more flexible and easier to use. We also find out why AlphaGo will never be able to pass you the sugar.
