Can AI Truly Do Science?

The system autonomously generates machine learning tasks and datasets without human intervention, employing a debugging loop to resolve compilation issues and refine the generated tasks rather than abandoning them outright.

A new approach uses artificially generated research problems to train artificial intelligence agents in the iterative process of scientific discovery.

Robots Learn by Trying, and Trying Again

OmniReset cultivates robust manipulation skills in large-scale reinforcement learning by generating diverse reset states, enabling complex behaviors-such as drawer manipulation, table-assisted object re-orientation, and resilient peg insertion-to emerge from a unified, task-agnostic procedure, and even facilitating recovery from failed attempts on real-world robotic systems.

A new approach to training robotic manipulation skills focuses on exposing agents to a vast range of starting conditions, dramatically improving both simulation and real-world performance.

AI Learns to Spot Good Science

New research shows artificial intelligence can develop a surprisingly accurate sense of ‘scientific taste’ by analyzing decades of published research.
