A student just trained this within a day, no... tedious tuning, no sim2real tricks, not even with sys-id. Worked in the first trial on the real robot. This explains the many recent impressive demos on G1 robot -- just the hardware. Still sim2real gaps on ankle and waist dofs tho.show more

System ID for legged robots is hard: (1) Discontinuous... dynamics and (2) many parameters to identify and hard to "excite" them. SPI-Active is a general tool for legged robot system ID. Key ideas: (1) massively parallel sampling-based optimization, (2) structured parameter space, and (3) active exploration based on Fisher Information to collect the most informative data in real. SPI-Active provides an accurate robot model and effectively reduces the sim2real gap. In sim2real policy learning setting, it outperforms baselines by 42-63% in various quadruped & humanoid tasks.

🧵 China’s humanoid robot race just entered a new... era. Not with a concept video. Not with a research paper. But with a robot walking on stage in Beijing… and talking live about the future of AI.show more

The New Internet Expands. First online board with no... backend. This is the first step toward an on-chain society. Not a demo. Not a promise. A real, fully on-chain feed. Own your data. Write forever. Just Code-In. 🔗 🔗show more

Sora's videos look impressive, but physics understanding and consistancy... is still not there yet. It was a quite simple script: "A humanoid robot standing near the table with red, green and blue cubes on it performs a cube stacking task, with red in the bottom and blue on the top." Pretty impressive that it still managed to achieve the goal, only not in a very usual way.show more

This isn’t a robot it’s a Dominican Papibot $tsla... Boston Dynamics just raised the bar again. The new Atlas moves with fluid, human-like coordination—then goes past human limits. Balance, recovery, and whole-body control are happening in real time, not pre-scripted demos. $nvdashow more
