Willow Garage’s PR2 Robot was already programmed to find it’s own outlet.

Now it’s learning how to generalize simple tasks, like taking a bottle and pouring it’s content in a cup.
This is a relevant step in robotics because the robot learns the task (and not only a set of instructions or movements), meaning that even if the bottle and cup are in different places, PR2 will still be able to perform the task.
Neat!
