NVIDIA Open-Sources ASPIRE, a Self-Improving Robot Framework

NVIDIA's Jim Fan team open-sourced ASPIRE, an agentic robotics framework that continuously self-improves via code-as-policy programs and execution feedback. After switching to GPT-6 Astra, it nearly saturated simulation benchmarks and has been applied to real-world robot skill learning.
