provements across 30 percent of its U.S. fleet. The researchers are also releasing open-source code built around NVIDIA’s Isaac simulation framework, alongside an industrial benchmark for evaluating robot performance across different tasks. Initial applications are focused on industrial environments, where repetitive operations offer opportunities to test and refine robot behavior at scale. The approach could eventua

imulations and refine subsequent attempts, potentially reducing manual engineering effort. The technology has also been tested in industrial logistics. A warehouse robotics company applied the methods to parcel sorting, analyzing production data and testing updates to robot behavior. The trials reportedly increased sorting capacity by more than 15,000 packages annually per robot. The company has since deployed the im

on involved a robot using a sponge to wipe ink from a metal bar. Researchers supplied an AI system with a short video of the task and access to their simulation interface. Within an hour, the system generated and fine-tuned a physics simulation that reproduced the task, including realistic sponge deformations. The AI then used the simulation and Graph-as-Policy framework to generate a robot-control program. It repeat

edly tested and refined the code before researchers transferred it to a physical robot. During one trial, the robot pushed over the metal bar because it had not accurately accounted for the object’s weight. The system used video of the failed attempt to update its simulation, revise the control program, and test a new approach. This feedback process allows AI agents to use failures during physical trials to improve s

lly make robotic systems easier to adapt to changing requirements without manually programming every movement or collecting extensive demonstrations for each new task. However, it does not mean robots can independently master arbitrary real-world activities. Its immediate potential lies in making robot programming, testing, and improvement faster and more adaptable, particularly in structured industrial settings.
