Stunting with Reinforcement Learning

In this demo, Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) drives, turns, jumps, tricks, and comes to a sudden stop called a track-stand. All of the driving, landings, balance, and track-stands are done using reinforcement learning.

Spot Speeds Up

Using reinforcement learning, we trained policies for Spot that allow the robot to achieve record running speeds of 11.5 mph (5.2 m/s) — over three times faster than Spot's default max speed.
