New physics sim trains robots 430,000 times faster than reality

“Genesis” can compress training times from decades into hours using 3D worlds conjured from text.

Examples of character motion generation from Genesis, using a prompt that includes, "A miniature Wukong holding a stick in his hand sprints across a table surface for 3 seconds, then jumps into the air, and swings his right arm downward during landing." Examples of character motion generation from Genesis, using a prompt that includes, "A miniature Wukong holding a stick in his hand sprints across a table surface for 3 seconds, then jumps into the air, and swings his right arm downward during landing." Notably, the non-proprietary nature of the Genesis platform makes high-speed robot training simulations available to any researcher for free through simple Python commands that work on regular computers with off-the-shelf hardware.
