Unity Technologies Unveils Obstacle Tower: A New Frontier for AI Challenges
Unity Technologies has introduced an exciting new title, Obstacle Tower, specifically crafted to test the limits of artificial intelligence. Aiming to enhance AI development, this game features a unique 100-level challenge that will be the focus of the Obstacle Tower Challenge contest, allowing participants to pit their AI agents against intricate puzzles for a chance to win substantial prizes.
Obstacle Tower offers a dynamic game-like environment tailored for machine learning researchers. Each level presents a distinct puzzle that demands AI agents to precisely time their actions, make strategic decisions, and undertake specific tasks to progress. As players ascend the tower, the difficulty ramps up, ensuring that no two experiences are identical thanks to procedurally generated levels.
The Obstacle Tower Challenge kicks off on Monday, February 11th, with the first phase extending until March 31st. During this initial stage, participants can navigate their AI agents through the first 25 floors. A second round will follow from April 15th to May 24th, granting access to all 100 levels. Winners will be revealed on June 14th, with prizes totaling up to $100,000.
