I think the gap between simulations and reality is getting closer and closer, right?

Like the GTA is just like kind of one example, but even in like a lot of, like I said earlier,

a lot of like triple A games, they're getting closer and closer to like reality, right?

Like graphics level, like fidelity, like all of that.

I actually think that the sim to Real Gap is closing.

And if you are able to build and rig up basically all the controls that a robot is in like a 3D video game or 3D simulation,

and you basically have the trained agent to be allowed to do like, you know, all the scenarios that a robot

could do in real life. You can actually, like, that gap, this simulation to reality gap,

that's in the real gap, it's actually like pretty close. And you should be able to generalize

that to the robot in like, you know, a couple of years.

Welcome back to the Free Code Camp podcast, your source for raw, unedited interviews with developers.

This week we're talking with CTO and robotics engineer Peggy Wong.

We'll learn how she grew up a first generation public school kid from Milwaukee who used free code camp as a key resource to build her developer chops.

Her love of robotics helped her get into Stanford.

And from there, we'll talk about her work on augmented reality at Oculus, self-driving cars at Lyft and AI agents at her Y Combinator funded game dev startup.

Support for this podcast comes from a grant from Wix Studio.

Wix Studio provides developers tools to rapidly build websites with everything out of the box,

then extend, replace, and break boundaries with code.
