It&#8217;s open-source software, which means researchers can use it for free, and are allowed to tinker with the code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It is very, very user-friendly. So for research groups or for small start-ups, that&#8217;s useful,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">She says that Vsim&#8217;s approach &#8211; very fast simulation &#8211; is promising. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;If you have a very, very fast simulator, then you can simulate hundreds of millions of samples in that few seconds that your robot is thinking about how to adjust its motion, and then you can change the motion almost in real time,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But those simulated environments are still rough approximations of the real world, which limits what can be trained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;There are certain things that are hard to model in simulation, like highly deformable objects and cutting,&#8221; she says. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It&#8217;s a challenge that Nvidia and Lu and Storey at Vsim are working on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Lu says their system has &#8220;reduced approximation, using accurate simulations to train models that genuinely work in reality as well as they do in simulations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Soon a second robot, to be called Nacho, will be helping develop that tech. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Lu says that should speed up their development process and ensure their software can run on different machines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">And, of course, provide Freddo with some company.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
