Part 7/9:
Despite the rapid evolution, the transition from theory to practical application isn’t seamless. The research emphasizes overcoming the "Real 2 Sim 2 Real Gap," which highlights the discrepancies that can occur when robots designed in simulations are put into real-world settings. Factors like overheating motors and mechanical wear are prevalent challenges, and initial tests indicated that some robots suffered damage during trials. Moving forward, researchers may need to implement adaptive measures to minimize breakdowns, allowing robots to maintain high performance over extended periods.
