Each robot controller typically operates with unique software I/O structures, creating the requirement for a central PLC programmer to pair a different structure of code with each manufacturers ...

This next article in the series takes a look at the software for the three robotic platforms covered in Real Robots Part 1: The Contenders, focusing on hardware-specific software.

The Evolution Gym relies on two algorithms that bounce results back and forth. First, a design-optimization algorithm “generates a bunch of random robot designs,” Bhatia says.

The design files are then sent directly to silicon foundries, such as TSMC, in Taiwan, for production. “Until the advent of those tools, people were laying out integrated circuits by hand ...
