2015-07-18 Use virtual environment to develop robots

A decade ago, France stopped nuclear weapons testing and replaced them by simulations. I guess it now happens in virtual environment. Researchers starts to do the same with robots: Minecraft Shows Robots How to Stop Dithering, Using Minecraft to unboggle the robot mind. We do not need to actually build a robot to create a kind of artificial intelligence. It can just be developped in a virtual environment such as Minecraft and interact it with a python module such as picraft. We could try to build a robot which learns how to build a house which does not collapse.
