AI training method helps robots carry lab-learned skills into real-world tasks

Robots are trained for specific tasks, such as cutting, using simulation. However, collecting real-world data is expensive, slow, and sometimes unsafe, particularly for tasks involving physical interaction. A new AI-based method co-developed by Aston University's Dr. Alireza Rastegarpanah could revolutionize the way advanced robotic systems are trained for real-life tasks,…
