From quantum to AI: Ge Yang on CoRL's boom and where robot learning goes next
EpisodeYang · x · 2026-11-11
Researcher Ge Yang recalls quantum computing gatherings being tiny during his PhD; by the time he moved to AI, they filled conference halls. CoRL this year feels the same. He shares thoughts on what's next for robot learning, pointing to scaling simulation — robots learning in a million worlds before entering ours.
