The algorithm gives rise to a new branch of artificial intelligence, known as deep learning. The researchers chose Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks (BRETT) to take up a challenge of dealing with a relatively promising form of artificial intelligence called deep structured learning.

The machine was programmed by researchers in China using a technique known as deep learning, which involves converting data into a set of algorithms that a computer can make sense of.
"This is where the deep learning comes in. In the past, the furthest programmers had gotten was to build machines that were capable of analysing millions of millions of texts to figure out which words are associated often with each other,
and shows just how powerful deep learning can be. The strategy has also been used to teach computers how to beat us at 49 old-school Atari games,
