From simulation to reality. 🤖⚡

In Reinforcement Learning for Robotics Part 3: Deploy AI Agent to a Robot, Shawn Hymel takes a trained PPO reinforcement learning agent and deploys it to an ESP32-powered M5Stack BALA 2 Fire robot. Along the way, you'll explore the challenges of the sim-to-real gap and learn how neural networks can be converted to C code and run directly on embedded hardware.

Discover how sensor noise, motor behavior, and real-world physics can impact performance, and see the techniques used to help bridge the gap between a successful simulation and a functioning robot.
