I’m highly entertained by the way the robot tightens nuts. There is no way this would work in the real world :)
(This whole thing is awesome. I think they will need to get the number of rollouts needed down before it translates well to real robots — running hundreds of thousands of rollouts on small parts with a real rollout will be a real logistical mess when cleaning up parts on the floor and dealing with everything that the robots physically break while learning.)

It's the companion blog post to an Nvidia / UW paper of an approach to solving learning based high precision robotics tasks.

It is not an Alphabet/Deepmind paper, and it also has nothing to do with the "NIST" OCR dataset.
Was there really not a more appropriate name than "AlphaNIST"?
