Role in the stack

Environment tooling connects physics, rendering, sensors and task logic to learning algorithms. Its robot and task collections are examples that still require a declared configuration for reproducible evaluation.

Integration decision

The framework supports different execution locations, but cloud deployment and GPU capacity are separate from code access. A learned policy’s control interface must match its intended robot.
