Physical systems

This research area explores environments for planning and acting in physical systems, including robotics and industrial operations. This example follows one cooling-loop task.

Example task

PredictedObserved

Current state

pump 60% · outlet 18.4°C

Pump adjustment

Observed response

outlet 17.9°C

Synthetic example values. The same pump, pipes, and heat exchanger appear in each stage. Dashed marks indicate prediction; solid marks indicate observation.

What the task measures.

The record includes the current state, the requested pump setting, the model’s predicted response, and the observed system response. Predictions are shown with dashed lines; observations use solid lines.

Keeping the same physical objects in each frame makes changes in the system state easier to compare. This focus includes world models, manufacturing, robotics, and industrial control.

Work with Kimpton.

Engagements are custom. We agree on the task, inputs, outcomes, and rewards before we build the environment.
