AI taught to type on the braille keyboard

A braille keyboard is a set of tactile characters that blind people can use toEnter the information.

Braille uses unique patterns of relief dots that denote letters of the alphabet or punctuation marks.

The general idea behind our work is to teach a robot to perform a task that humans doWe also wanted to show the power of deep learning. 

Nathan F. Lepora, one of the authors of the study

The authors of the work have developed four tasks, which include a set ofTo do this, they have created a simulated and real-world environment in which AI canAfter that, the researchers trained state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms to perform four tasks they had created, both in a simulated and real-world environment (i.e., using a physical robot).

These deep learning algorithms have achieved excellent results: the AIs have  learned to perform all four tasks in the simulations.Also, the result was successful three times out of four when implemented  on a real robot.Only one of the tasks, which required the AI to continuously enter the letters of the alphabet, turned out to be difficult to translate. 

The authors of this work were the first to successfully train AI to type on the Braille keyboard.
