How do we generate enough robotics data to deploy general-purpose robots in the real world? Generalist embodied agents need plentiful, high-quality, and diverse data. One obvious answer to this is sim-to-real. Read more: https://t.co/gpyaYQstrX
“We have built a solution to the data problem, a simulator that mimics reality, enabling us to be even faster in development and able to handle all the safety critical situations that are otherwise impossible to capture in the real world.” -@RaquelUrtasun on @found @TechCrunch https://t.co/EcEQ9Db8XG
Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have introduced a new system named 'LucidSim' aimed at enhancing robot training. This innovative approach leverages advances in generative AI and physics engines to create diverse and realistic virtual training environments for robots. The goal is to address the significant data bottleneck that currently hampers the deployment of adaptable and intelligent machines in real-world scenarios. By simulating various safety-critical situations that are difficult to replicate in reality, 'LucidSim' promises to accelerate the development of general-purpose robots, enabling them to operate effectively in complex environments. This advancement comes amidst discussions in the AI and robotics community about the need for high-quality, diverse data to support the evolution of embodied agents.
