AI Robot Dominates Humans in Marble Maze Showdown
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed an AI-powered robot called CyberRunner that can beat the physical marble game Labyrinth faster than humans. Combining model-based reinforcement with dexterity, the robot learns through experience and was able to conquer the game in just under 14.5 seconds, faster than any previously recorded time. The researchers are open-sourcing CyberRunner, allowing others to further train and improve its skills.
