The virtual worlds where robots are trained

British start-up Vsim is developing high-speed virtual environments that allow robots to learn tasks in minutes and consider thousands of possible outcomes while moving. Although faster simulation could help robots adapt safely in homes and workplaces, virtual models still struggle to reproduce some complex features of the physical world.
