A home robot trained to perform household tasks in a factory may fail to effectively scrub the sink or take out the trash when deployed in a user’s kitchen, since this new environment differs from its training space.To avoid this, engineers often try to match the simulated training environment as closely as possible with the real world where the agent will be deployed.However, researchers from MIT and elsewhere have now found that, despite this conventional wisdom, sometimes training in a completely different environment yields a better-performing artificial intelligence agent.Their results indicate that, in some situations, training a simulated AI agent…
