NVIDIA's AI 'Eureka' Writes Its Own Code to Train Robots Faster Than Humans

Researchers at NVIDIA used AI (GPT-4) to speed up training of a simulated robotic hand to do complex tasks like pen-twirling.

NVIDIA's new "Eureka" AI agent writes its own reinforcement learning code using GPT-4, without needing human-written templates.

In tests, Eureka's AI-generated code outperformed human-written code over 80% of the time.

The Eureka-trained simulated robotic hand could do impressive dexterous tasks like twirling pens.

Eureka integrates generative and reinforcement learning methods to solve complex robotic control tasks that are challenging for humans.
