Niantic's 3D world models set to revolutionize robot navigation
niantic uses pokemon go data to build 3d world models for robot navigation and autonomous cars, changing how they interact with reality.
niantic, creator of pokémon go, is leveraging its world data to build 3d replicas for robot navigation. world models use visual inputs to simulate physics, unlike text-based large language models. this tech helps robots practice without physical movement and improves driverless cars' software reactions. it's expected to impact home robotics and autonomous vehicles by 2027, and also video games and labor market.
