- q3k 7y agoIt's a (simulated) environment that allows you to develop AI technology. In this particular environment, you program a robot to assemble IKEA furniture.
- atonse 7y agoWith these simulated environments, do we have the processing power to run them at 1000x or 10,000x to speed up the learning? Or is it already processor intensive enough that it runs at nearly wall-clock time?
- NortySpock 7y agoWe can run at many multiples of real time. Physics simulation of solid wood blocks and metal screws is a mostly solved problem. I don't know about 1000x, but certainly 100x realtime.
- derefr 7y ago> Physics simulation of solid wood blocks and metal screws is a mostly solved problem. Not just solid wood. Frequently IKEA builds will involve either pressed+laminated particle-board (most of their cheap stuff) or drywall (when you e.g. mount a bookshelf to the wall for safety.) These materials both need to be simulated as a sort of "pressed powder", I would think, and tend to both spall/chip, and potentially jam your tooling with loosened powder. I would think a large part of the "optimization problem" would be avoiding designs that require repeatedly clearing toolways of dust.
- kuu 7y agoThat's probably out of the scope right now.
- colde 7y agoLooks to me like it is a simulation that allows reinforcement AI training to do "real world" tasks. I.e. a test bench for using computer vision, and AI to generate a set of assembly instructions.
