Researchers help a robot learn simple motor skills- NSF Science Now

The video discusses various National Science Foundation-funded projects. It explores the potential for American cities to source food locally, highlighting the work of UC Merced professor Elliott Campbell. The video also covers advancements in robotics, with UC Berkeley researchers developing algorithms for robots to learn motor skills through trial and error. Additionally, it showcases educational video games designed by University of Wisconsin researchers to engage students in science learning. Finally, the video presents a study on climate change impacts in Duke Forest, led by NC State University, examining how organisms adapt to temperature changes.
