Featured Work
Building an Open-Source Simulation Ecosystem for AI and Mobility Researchofficial talks archive — 2024-06-17
Why Now
Strong bridge between mainstream computer vision and the emerging physical-AI stack built around simulators, embodied agents, and urban environments.
Key Ideas
- -Simulation is becoming a core research instrument, not just an evaluation sandbox.
- -Embodied AI needs interpretable and generalizable representations tied to real environments and interventions.
- -Open ecosystems matter because proprietary simulators slow down scientific iteration.
Open Questions
- ?What makes a simulator scientifically useful rather than merely visually plausible?
- ?How do we prevent agents from overfitting to simulator artifacts?
- ?Can simulation become the main outer loop for data generation and evaluation in vision?
