At Electric Sheep we strongly rely on simulation to pre-train our foundation model, ES-1. Synthetic data allows us to ship our robots to anywhere in the country, so they can immediately start working on crews and spin our data engine faster.

Do you want to give your robot the ability to plan and reason? A promising way we’ve found is to use a world model. We built this in collaboration with @nvidia , using #ISAAC as our training pipeline. #Nvidia #NvidiaRobotics #ElectricSheep
