Rather than just talking about embodied AI, run your own grasping simulation

I messed around with embodied intelligence simulation environments over the weekend. Hit quite a few pitfalls, but once I got it running, I realized it's simpler than expected. Yesterday, I saw that NIO's Ren Shaoqing left to start a company focused on physical AI foundation models, backed by NIO as a strategic investor. Many people think embodied intelligence is just about building robots, but that's not entirely true—what he's doing is giving robots a brain that understands the physical world. For us regular folks wanting to get started, the most practical path is to run simulations first without touching any hardware.
