Why Training Robots in Games Could Be the Smartest Idea in Tech
At this year’s ITSEC conference, I had the privilege of presenting a topic that is reshaping the future of robotics: training robots using game engines. As the boundaries between simulation and reality continue to blur, game engines—once purely the domain of entertainment—are emerging as powerful platforms for developing intelligent, adaptable robotshttps://youtu.be/_QV_bgzZyyYI am Mike
What Features Do Parents Actually Want in Educational AI Products?
If an educational game isn’t safe, effective, and genuinely fun, I don’t want my kids using it. Even though test results do matter, I also want to be sure that my children are enjoying the learning process and that I am setting them up for life long learning. I also demand trust and
How Game Simulations are Reshaping Military Strategy
The Rise of Game-Driven Simulations For centuries, militaries have relied on war games to test strategies, train commanders, and forecast outcomes. What once took the form of tabletop exercises with tokens and maps has now transformed into large-scale, hyper-realistic simulations powered by game engines like Unreal, Unity, and NVIDIA Omniverse. These environments offer a safe
The Right Kind of Bond. Designing Avatars That Empower
Over the last few months, I have been experimenting with existing conversational avatars — testing their responsiveness, memory, emotional tone, and believability. I have also been designing some of my own. Some are jaw-dropping and convincing, while others are are just clunky and robotic. But one thing is clear: we’re stepping into a future where
Why Training Robots in Fortnite Could Be the Smartest Idea in Tech
What if robots learned like human children, not engineers? The Next Great Leap in Robotics Let’s be blunt: real-world robotics training is broken. It’s slow, dangerous, expensive—and always a step behind. But what if we flipped the paradigm? What if robots could play before they work? What if we trained them not in labs or warehouses, but
A Day In The Near Future?
Autonomous Vehicles & Passive Income The house awoke first, as it always did, with a sigh of hydraulics and soft whirs behind the drywall. A quiet voice, filtered like music through silk, whispered in the air from a home Alexa device: "6:45 AM. The river is calm. Rowing conditions optimal. Shall I warm the seat?" The
