The Infoq Podcast

In this podcast, Roland and Anthony discuss the use of simulation of both musical instruments and robots. They explore how software and sampling techniques allow musicians to replicate the sounds of real instruments and to design better pianos before manufacturing. They discuss how robot simulations allow testing code safely in virtual environments, avoiding costly or dangerous real-world consequences. The conversation extends to frameworks like Gazebo, Unity, and reinforcement learning platforms, and also how simulations cannot always bridge the gap between training in virtual spaces and real-world execution.
