FrodoBots and YGG team up on gamified AI and robotics with Earth Rover Challenge


FrodoBots and Yield Guild Games have teamed up to gamify AI and robotics research with the Earth Rover Challenge event.

“There’s an intersection where it’s fun for humans to play, but it’s also useful for AI research, so we can give it to people like that and all these robotic labs so that they can do the best work,” said Michael Cho, CEO of FrodoBots, in an interview with GamesBeat. Gamers around the world will be recruited to drive RC cars to eventually enable self-driving cars.FrodoBots’ collaboration with YGG advances the gaming-enabled gig economy initiated by the play-and-earn movement. Xiao added, “And I think with FrodoBots, the very exciting opportunity is that this is a globally distributed evaluation setup where we really have these really awesome platforms employed in multiple cities around the world, where we can really test the leading edge capabilities of the latest and greatest AI models and how good they are at operating and navigating in these urban environments.”
