A Dynamic Robot That Can Throw, Catch, and Hit a Baseball
Researchers at the RAI Institute have built a low-impedance platform to study dynamic robot manipulation. In this demo, robots play a game of catch and...
From Walking to Working: Spot Stacks Tires
Spot robot performs dynamic whole-body manipulation using a combination of reinforcement learning and sampling-based control. Behavior shown in the video is fully autonomous, including the...
Ultra Mobile Vehicle Expands Mobility Repertoire
Using reinforcement learning we have expanded the range of techniques the Ultra Mobile Vehicle (UMV) uses to handle terrain and obstacles, including hops, out-of-plane balance,...

Reinforcement Learning Accelerates Humanoid Behavior Production
Reinforcement learning is used to speed the production of behavior for the Atlas humanoid robot. At the heart of the learning process is a physics-based...
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.
