MIT: LucidSim training system helps robots close Sim2Real gap

Robotics Business Review

Since the 1970s, the field has evolved from writing sophisticated programs to using deep learning, teaching robots to learn directly from human behavior. But a critical bottleneck remains: data quality. To improve, robots need to encounter scenarios that push the boundaries of their capabilities, operating at the edge of their mastery.

AI’s revolutionary impact on industrial manufacturing

Control Engineering

We can improve throughput and eliminate the X-ray as a bottleneck by assessing which parts are at risk to fail and apply testing resources appropriately. Where testing is a bottleneck, this also increases overall throughput of the production line. Digital twins use AI to simulate a robotic cell or even an entire factory floor.
