Robot Pilots

In this video, the pilot is itself a humanoid robot, learning how to fly an airplane in a flight simulator. With a panel of controls in its mechanical fingers, the PIBOT uses visual information, presented on a computer monitor, to inform its flying. 
Right now, the concept is limited to piloting simulators, but the researchers hope to have PIBOT actually steer a plane some day.
