We\’d want to pretend to be all concerned about the science behind teaching a robot arm to educate itself an advanced motion like pancake flipping. We\’d drone on and on about how the aggregate of demonstrated motion, trial-and-error, and object motion tracking come together for some \” Expectation-Maximization based Reinforcement Learning,\” but really we just can\’t stop giggling at your entire pancake misses perpetrated by the robot on video, which are found after the break.
