Robotics Researcher: The Last Two Weeks Were an RT-X-Level Moment for Sim RL
KyleMorgenstein · x · 2026-10-15
Roboticist Kyle Morgenstein responds to Chris Paxton claiming the last two weeks were an "RT-X-level moment of transition" for robotics: simulation RL now works, and large agents will be able to solve nearly any task given enough time, compute, and embodiments. A notable practitioner bet on the bitter-lesson direction for embodied AI.
