Synthetic Simulation Pipelines for Embodied AI

Develop rigorous evaluation suites to ensure simulations produce reliable policies.

• Benchmark Tasks: Maintain standardized tasks (navigation, manipulation, inspection) with clear success metrics.
• Expert Comparisons: Compare agent performance to human or expert baselines.
• Stress Tests: Introduce adversarial conditions (unexpected obstacles, sensor dropouts) to check resilience.
• Real-World Trials: Periodically test trained models on physical hardware, capturing discrepancies.
• Metrics Dashboard: Track success rates, failure modes, transfer efficiency, and safety incidents.

Set acceptance thresholds before deployment. If metrics fall below thresholds, iterate on simulation fidelity or training curriculum.
