An intern robot gets a perfect score on a familiar task. When the cup’s position and orientation change, it stops. Its mentor notices that the past records all repeat the same problem. Together they look again at changing conditions, and the robot learns to ask for help when unsure.
A truly new problem deserves a fresh look.
Three questions to take from the story: Which conditions kept repeating? Which conditions changed? When unsure, should the robot keep guessing or stop and ask for help?
A reusable observation note can separate the starting conditions, changes in position, orientation or occlusion, the observed outcome, and any help needed. This is a way to organize observations; one success or a fictional perfect score does not establish general ability.
