Why not simply simulate the body (or indeed multiple bodies) in a virtual world?

Easier to build, parallelize, extend, maintain. Possibly somewhat safer too.

That works, if your virtual world is good.

But that's a big if. You've just taken one really hard problem (learning about the world) and turned it into an even harder problem (simulating the world).

Some games are pretty convincing sand boxes and it's not obvious to me that you really need full range of senses to properly teach the AI.

This is exactly the premise of The Talos Principle :-)
