Unity Launches Machine Learning Agents; Turns Unity Creation Engine Into Artificial Intelligence Powerhouse

Unity Technologies, the creator of the world’s most popular creation engine that reaches nearly 3 billion devices worldwide, has today announced the open beta of Unity Machine Learning Agents (ML-Agents).
Available later this year, Unity’s breakthrough AI toolkit will help enable machine learning developers and researchers to train agents in realistic, complex scenarios using Unity with decreased technical barriers than they could otherwise. This is critical future technology for many verticals, including robotics, automotive, and next-generation games. This first-of-its-kind advancement is in alignment with Unity’s mission to democratize access to superior technology and help developers solve hard problems.

ML- Agents, an open source toolkit, is specifically designed to help researchers and developers transform games and applications created using Unity into environments where intelligent agents can be trained. Using Reinforcement Learning, evolutionary strategies, and other machine learning methods through a simple to use Python API, ML-Agents has a superior advantage in solving complex machine learning problems in highly realistic environments.
