Researchers at Elon Musk's OpenAI have similarly been using virtual reality to teach robots how to grasp objects and move along prescribed paths. Robotic control system manufacturer Sisu has announced a partnership with Sixense, which offers businesses immersive computing solutions, with the aim of intuitively programming industrial robots. In contrast to the time-consuming "training by demonstration" approach currently used to teach machines, Sisu's VUDU System aims to use a technique based on motion tracking to instruct robots using a handheld controller. The company is working in collaboration with the University of California, Berkeley, and the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) to develop an automated robot learning system.
