Summary

Story summary

A study published in Science Robotics reports that researchers taught a robot to perform 1,000 distinct physical tasks in under 24 hours using Multi-Task Trajectory Transfer.
The Multi-Task Trajectory Transfer approach lets robots generalize from previous tasks instead of starting from scratch.
In real-world conditions, the research showed the robot could adapt to new objects, suggesting broader applications in healthcare and logistics.
