MIT CSAIL 推出 Ascent Lab：浏览器里设计虚拟机器人并训练其行走
MIT CSAIL 做了个网页版机器人进化实验场，改机器人身体、训练它走路，还能分享给别人接着玩，第一次体验免费。
MIT CSAIL 发布了 Ascent Lab，一个基于浏览器的虚拟机器人设计平台。用户可以在平台上修改机器人的身体结构，训练其行走或攀爬的运动控制器，并把结果分享给他人查看和继续改进。平台同时发行了名为 $ASCENT 的代币，部署在 Solana 上，用于支付实验运行的算力费用，定价以美元计价再换算成代币。首次实验免费，训练和模拟在链下运行，Solana 只负责支付结算。
Today we’re launching Ascent Lab, a browser-based platform for designing virtual robots and exploring how they learn to walk or climb.
We want more people to be able to experiment with robot learning firsthand. In https://t.co/nrVe8oRiTG, you can modify a robot’s body and train its movement controller, then share the result for someone else to inspect and continue.
Opening up that experience also means finding a way to sustain the computation behind it. Our interest in crypto is to explore whether participants can support the experiments they choose to run and, eventually, fund challenges that reward others for finding verified solutions.
That’s the model we’re testing with $ASCENT, launching today on Solana alongside the platform.

The token pays for experiment execution from day one. Prices are quoted in dollars and converted into tokens at checkout, with revenue from those payments covering computation and the platform’s infrastructure. Participant-funded challenges are planned for a later release.
Training and simulation run offchain. Solana handles payments, with reward settlement planned as challenges are introduced.
The first experiment is free, so you can try Ascent before purchasing any tokens.
