“Deep learning technology is expanding its reach into the realm of robotics, leading to the creation of advanced new intelligent technologies and industrial services.”

If we can apply this technology to avatar robots, it will enable us to obtain new physical skills through the robot to give us countless new capabilities. Furthermore, we will also be able to acquire the actions and interactions of operators controlling these avatars and leverage this experiential data to further advance the intelligence of robotic systems.
