Claire chatted to Michelle Lu from Vsim Technology about using simulation and artificial intelligence to teach robots new skills.
Michelle Lu is co-founder and CEO of Vsim Technology. She was previously a Director of Simulation Technology at NVIDIA, where she and her co-founder created the world’s first end-to-end GPU-accelerated reinforcement learning (RL) framework, Isaac Gym, which set the template for how modern GPU-accelerated simulation-based RL is performed in robotics. In 2022, Michelle and her co-founder left NVIDIA to create Vsim, driven to solve the limitations that plague simulation-based robotics AI: efficiency, scalability and the sim-to-real gap.
This episode is powered by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency‘s Robot Dexterity programme, which aims to transform robotic capabilities and unlock a step-change in human productivity.
