AI Robot CyberRunner Breaks Human Record in Marble Maze Game
• Researchers created an AI robot named CyberRunner that learned to play a marble maze game, using reinforcements learning and model-based algorithms.
• CyberRunner broke the human world record for solving the marble maze game, completing it in 14.48 seconds - over 6% faster than the previous record.
• The robot improved by practicing for over 6 hours, learning from experience like humans do to develop motor skills and spatial reasoning.
• The researchers are open-sourcing CyberRunner's hardware and software so others can benefit from and build on their AI breakthrough.
• The project shows AI surpassing human capabilities in physical skill games, not just intellectual games, blurring the lines between humans and machines.
