Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company created virtual robots that can sumo wrestle and play soccer. They may look goofy but they're smarter than you think

Following is a transcript of the video.

The winners go on to play other bots.

What exactly can they learn? Self-play discovers physical skills like tackling, ducking, faking, kicking, catching, and diving. The bots get "rewarded" for achieving small goals such as getting closer to a ball or getting closer to their opponent. By achieving goals, they get smarter.
