Reinforcement learning (RL) for robotics is often associated with large GPU clusters, distributed infrastructure, and x86-based development environments. Training a humanoid robot with high-fidelity ...

"We've had a bit of a breakthrough." Toyota, MIT and Columbia Engineering have shown off wild results from a new AI learning approach that massively accelerates how quickly robots can acquire new ...

In a step toward robots that can learn on the fly like humans do, a new approach expands training data sets for robots that work with soft objects like ropes and fabrics, or in cluttered environments.
