According to AI TIMES, a research team at Sungkyunkwan University developed a control AI framework called "LAC" on the 10th that helps robots make faster and more accurate decisions even in complex environments. The technology cut action-decision speed by up to 4 times compared with existing models while matching or surpassing top-level performance in task success rates. Its core is an asymmetric design that fully trains a deep, heavy critic structure during the training phase, then runs only a lightweight actor during actual operation. The team bundled several techniques for stably training deep neural networks to address both computational burden and battery drain in real-world control. In particular, it delivered competitive results in difficult tasks such as humanoid robot maze escape and robot arm manipulation without relying on generative AI. The team said the approach points to a direction for using high-performance AI in near real time even on devices with limited computing resources.
Perspective
The significance of this study is that competition in robot AI performance may shift from simply adding larger models to improving on-site responsiveness by separating the roles of training and execution. With speed improvements clearly demonstrated, the options in real deployment environments may change when power and computing constraints previously forced companies to give up high-performing models. In the end, the industry is likely to place greater importance on how to design lightweight structures tailored for real-world use rather than pushing complex generative approaches as they are.
