Lucky Robots

Training a robot's AI without owning a robot is the job Lucky Robots takes on.

Lucky Robots is a robotics simulation platform, described as a virtual boot camp, where you iterate on, train and test robot models and abilities in a digital environment instead of on physical hardware.

It generates synthetic data in large volumes and lets you build on existing models, so you can work toward end-to-end AI for robotics without a lab full of machines.

The selling point is geared toward regular software engineers.

Lucky Robots separates robotics work from ROS and physical hardware, and you can drive it with natural language.

That makes it a sensible starting point if you write software for a living and have never touched a robot arm, though simulated results still need checking on real machines.
