That sounds amazing.

I have a robot vacuum cleaner with "AI" computer vision, and you can just tell that it doesn't see the world in the way a living being does. It'll detect and avoid shoes, cables and dog turds, but is completely blind to anything not in its specific library of objects (we have a two year old, it chokes all the time on things like ribbons and toys).

Being able to recognise objects that cause it to choke, even if it doesn't what they're called in English, is souch more significant to robotics than being able to label things.
