Alphabet Is Developing a Robot to Take Over Boring Everyday Tasks

Every day, 30 robots toil away in what’s been dubbed the “playpen” sorting trash, then at night virtual robots continue to practice in a simulation.

Synthetic psychology — the mission to understand behavior through robotics

Instead of following human examples, developers can use robots, AI, and simulation for synthetic psychology to model the brain instead of animal testing.
