AI training moves beyond data to immersive, real-world environments
IEEE Spectrum reports that major strides in AI, including those relevant to robotics, are now being driven by reinforcement learning (RL) environments rather than just larger datasets. These simulated "classrooms" allow robots and AI agents to learn through interaction, trial, and error in complex, realistic scenarios. Such advances are expected to be instrumental in teaching AI-powered robots—including humanoids—to adapt and reason in messy, unpredictable real-world settings, a crucial step toward wide-scale autonomous deployment.
