MIT's new AI can teach itself to control robots by watching the world through their eyes — it only needs a single camera News - Tristan Greene, Live Science

Scientists at MIT have developed a novel vision-based artificial intelligence (AI) system that can teach itself how to control virtually any robot without the use of sensors or pretraining. The system gathers data about a given robot’s architecture using cameras, in much the same way that humans use their eyes to learn about themselves as they move. This allows the AI controller to develop a self-learning model for operating any robot — essentially giving machines a humanlike sense of physical self-awareness.
