## AI overview

This tutorial presents an agent-driven COMPASS workflow for training and evaluating cross-embodiment robot navigation policies. It covers asset preparation, smoke testing, residual reinforcement learning, checkpoint evaluation, runtime integration, and optional reconstructed environments using NVIDIA Omniverse NuRec.
