New tool gives anyone the ability to train a robot
A new training interface allows a robot to learn a task in several different ways. This increased training flexibility could help more people interact with and teach robots — and may also enable robots to learn a wider set of skills.

Before you start
- Basic Python familiarity
- Comfort with algebra or calculus basics
- Interest in robotics systems
