Strengths and trade-offs
Our analysisStrengths
Supported and improving, unlike the tool it replaced.
Can train with realistic camera pictures, not only body movement.
A generous licence.
Trade-offs
Needs a powerful Nvidia graphics card.
More complex to set up than its predecessor.
Ties the training work to Nvidia.
Why robot makers choose it
Our readBoston Dynamics sells a kit that lets researchers train their own behaviours for Spot. Building it on the tool most researchers already use means they can start straight away.
This is our reasoning from the public facts. No maker has confirmed it.
Robots using it
This list covers only the robots researched so far. A robot missing here may still use this part.
