RL environments for robotics companies

What it does

Fern provides RL environments for robotics companies powered by a foundational world model. Companies can plug and play their robot policies completely in software with varying starting scenes of their production environment, and we'll produce RL heads on top of your existing policies to improve speed and success rate. Our customers get a continual learning flywheel where their production robots improve every week.
