While this isn't really an A.I. could it be the first step to a robot that can freely adapt and repair itself?

I really do not find it scary, only interesting news. The claim need to be tested thoroughly, especially the usage of the term Know.

I can indeed imagine that such machines are feasible, but whether it is possible with the present state of programming tools and hardware, is an open question.
