Description: Robots are often controlled by a deep learning model that has been trained over thousands of trial-and-error attempts to complete the task. Instead, Hiroshi Ito at Waseda University, Tokyo, and his colleagues split the model into modules, with one controlling the robot as it approached the door, another taking over to open the door and one handling successfully passing through it. For each task, the robot had one module for doors that pull open and one for doors that push open.
