It is reported that military robots were able to deceive the eyes by taking unexpected actions such as 'hiding in cardboard'

As a result of testing military robots trained to detect humans developed by the

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense, deceive the robot's eyes by taking actions such as ``hiding in cardboard'' has been reported to be successful.

Former Army veteran and author Paul Schare describes a week in which DARPA worked with a group of U.S. Marines to tune algorithms for robot-human detection in his book Four Battlegrounds: Power in the Age of Artificial . Intelligence ”.

A team of DARPA engineers and Marines trained the robot to detect human figures in motion by walking around it for six days. And on the seventh day, we put the robot in the center of the circle and played a game like 'Mr. .

All eight Marines who played the game then successfully touched the robot using a variety of techniques.

Two out of eight people touched the robot by performing an acrobatic somersault toward the center of the circle where the robot was placed, in which the robot was not trained to detect humans.

Another Marine has succeeded in approaching the robot by hiding in cardboard and proceeding towards the robot like the action game ' Metal Gear Solid '.

Another member has succeeded in reaching the robot by stripping off the bark from a nearby fir tree and pretending to be a tree.

Mr. Schare said, ``In the same way that AI is biased when biased knowledge is given to AI, the algorithm that detects humans is more unexpected if the data to be learned is a basic movement such as 'walking.' It may not be able to respond to the movement of the 'If you don't show the robot what a human doing a somersault or a human in a cardboard box really looks like, even the most skilled engineer of robots can't detect those movements in all the noise around them.' I can't,' he said.
