By 2026, companies like Tesla and Boston Dynamics expect robots that can assemble cars, fetch supplies, and even assist people. But how do these robots learn to do tasks? The answer lies in a training pipeline: humans first teach or demonstrate the task, the learning happens in simulations, and then engineers test everything thoroughly—often using a “digital twin” of the factory or home. In this article we explain each step in the journey: from recording human motion and remote teleoperation, through scripted routines and reinforcement learning in virtual worlds, to the final robot trials in the real world. We’ll also show how scanning a facility into a virtual model helps plan and test robot actions, and how engineers check that the new robot skills are safe and reliable. ... Continue reading
