Prediction: Robotics to be Solved via RL from Scratch Using Simulators
yacineMTB · x · 2026-08-27
The author predicts that robotics will be solved using reinforcement learning (RL) from scratch, relying on well-written simulators.
- Any pretraining used will be limited to producing depth models from stereo cameras.
- Beyond that, skills are expected to be acquired primarily through RL in simulation.
