Ive yet to see a model that trains AND applies the trained data real-time. Thats basically every living being, from bacteria to plants to mammals.
Even PID loops have a training phase separate from recitation phase.
Reinforcement learning on real robots in real time has been done lots of times, since back in the 90s at least. It’s painfully slow.
That’s not a meaningful technical obstacle. If you wanted to, you could just take the output of the model and use it at each iteration of the training phase to perform (badly) whatever task the model is intended to do.
The reason noone does this is you don’t have to and you’ll get much better results if you first fully train and then apply the best model you have to whatever problem. Biological systems don’t have that luxury.
