Robotics suffers from data starvation; high‑fidelity synthetic worlds fill the gap
  • Real‑world robotic datasets are expensive to collect and often lack the diversity needed for robust policies.
  • Marble’s ability to render photorealistic scenes on demand creates virtually unlimited training material.
  • Synthetic environments can be annotated automatically for pose, segmentation, and physics properties.
  • Early collaborations show that agents trained on Marble‑generated data outperform those trained on raw internet video.

Synthetic Data for Embodied AI and Robotics

Robotics suffers from a lack of high-quality, diverse training data. Marble can synthesize realistic 3-D environments, providing a middle ground between scarce real-world recordings and uncontrolled internet video. By generating controllable scenarios, researchers can train agents that transfer to real robots more effectively.
