Scientists Build Jenga-Playing Robot

Scientists at MIT have just completed the next logical step in artificial intelligence - creating a robot that can play Jenga.

The robot uses a "soft-pronged gripper, external camera, and force-sensing wrist cuff" to sense the individual Jenga blocks and remove them without upsetting the rest of the tower.

It even knows to switch to a different block if the tower begin to wobble, just like a human player.

But the Jengabot wasn't just built for parties. Researchers say it's an important step in designing robots that can learn by interacting with the physical world.
