NVIDIA’s Omniverse is a very cool new technology that allows you to simulate a number of different environments with ‘digital twins’ which allows all sorts of training that can be useful in the real world.
Especially, this is helpful for robot training as they can get a ton of reps in a simulated world and then bring that knowledge into IRL.
HOWEVER, when you create what essentially amounts to a torture field for robots designed to have them slip and fall thousands of times over, you might be opening the door for some angry robots in the future.
