Reinforcement learning competition pushes the boundaries of embodied AI

This highlights the complexity of human vision and agency. The next time you go to a supermarket, consider how easily you can find your way through aisles, tell the difference between different products, reach for and pick up different items, place them in your basket or cart, and choose your path in an efficient way. And you're doing all this without access to segmentation and depth maps and by reading items from a crumpled handwritten note in your pocket. Above: Experiments show hybrid AI models that combine reinforcement learning with symbolic planners are better suited to solving the ThreeDWorld Transport Challenge. The TDW-Transport Challenge is in the process of accepting submissions.
