EES first works w/a vision system that locates & tracks the machine’s surroundings. Then, the algorithm estimates how reliably the robot executes an action & if it should practice more.

Algorithm Enables Robots Learn Skills Without Human Intervention
By

MIT’s EES Algorithm Enables Robots to Practice and Improve Autonomously
By
–
The phrase "practice makes perfect" is great advice for humans — and also a helpful maxim for robots Instead of requiring a human expert to guide such improvement, MIT & The AI Institute’s "Estimate, Extrapolate, and Situate" (EES) algorithm enables these machines to practice
