I've gotten a mujoco sim RL training loop for... a unitree robot at 200k SPS. I'm looking into the physics for friction, contact dynamics. My goal: can I reproduce & beat the mujoco playground RL baselines This is running in my web browser with raylib. Its the baselineshow more

System identification (sysid) is the process of finding the... physical parameters that make a simulation match reality. If you're training an RL locomotion policy in simulation, the accuracy of your motor model directly affects how well the policy transfers to the real robot. A recent git commit by Kevin Zakka added a sysid toolbox to MuJoCo which automates this process: you provide recorded motor data and a MuJoCo model, and it optimizes the model parameters to minimize the difference between simulated and real trajectories. For my RobStride Dynamics RS02 QDD motors (17 Nm peak, 7.75:1 gear), I built a Rust tool that sends multi-sine torque excitation at 1 kHz and records position/velocity feedback. I then feed this data into MuJoCo's sysid optimizer.show more

This is running in my web browser on my... laptop. It's deterministic and running using webgpu Tonight; I have a /goal going where it is going to set up one of my 4090s as the authority server, and then test all the rollback code. Goal is 50k boxes simmed per user, up to 512 users. Massively multiplayer massively rigid body physics online games inside your web browser. Why the hell not, we've got the tokens to spare!show more

hi all, excited to join! i'm building an expressive... mini "shoggoth" robot which will eventually be hooked up to gpt4o realtime voice. i'm currently working on the low-level policies, which are trained in a mujoco simulation with RL. to delay working on raw-pixels for now, i trained a pose-estimation model using deeplabcut and triangulate the position in 3d space using the stereo cameras. eventually, i'll use gpt4o's tool calling capabilities to activate several of these policies (closed and open loop) based on the dialog flow! captions: manual actuation of the tentacle / 3d pose estimation / target designshow more

This is how Strike Robot turns Simulation into Reality!... One of the biggest challenges in robotics is ensuring that behaviors validated in simulation work reliably in the real world. For this experiment, we reconstructed part of a real laboratory at Eastworlds inside SR Platform. The generated layout was then deployed into MuJoCo. Using SR Agentic, the robot was tasked with finding abnormal objects in a cluttered environment and sending a Telegram notification when detected. Before deployment, everything is validated in simulation.show more

I spent some time last week vibe-coding "The Beginner's... RL Playground" a simple web tool for exploring many basic concepts in reinforcement learning. Users can adjust all sorts of parameters of the algorithm and environment and see the effects of those changes in realtime.show more

What I love about Replit ⠕. Low floor to... get started. Ultra high ceiling for what you can build. I told Agent to build a native C application that runs on my desktop without a web browser - AND compile it into JavaScript to run in the web browser. Here's a video showing both runningshow more

Chinese consumer electronics maker Honor will unveil its first... humanoid robot on March 1 at MWC 2026 in Barcelona. The robot is designed for retail & home service. The company sold a whopping 71 million smartphones in 2025. Looks like a customized Unitree G1 with a 2DoF neck.show more

Success! 🍎🤖 I can now control Unitree robots on... a Mac Mini M4 running macOS with a simple tweak! The unitree_sdk2_python ( thread implementation isn’t essential—getting the DDS subscriber and publisher to work is enough. I replaced Unitree’s Linux thread logic with a simple Python while loop for sensor reading and robot control. Here’s a video of me controlling a Go2 robot on macOS (M4 Mac Mini) using a Python script for low-level control and sensor reading.show more

Introducing RL Environment Creator Skill Now any one can... create RL environments $ npx skills add adithya-s-k/RL_Envs_101 > You can create environments across multiple frameworks like OpenEnv, OpenReward, Verifiers, NemoGym ... > the repo has live working examples of environments that your coding agent can reference > The skill is design to first understand what type of model you are training and create an environment while keeping that in mind ps. There’s a lot more to building RL environments that can be used for training. One major aspect is the data, which this skill can’t directly solve. However, the skill will help with implementing tools, rewards, and other components of an RL environment, making it easier to go from idea to implementation quickly across different frameworks. Let me know if you’d be interested in a detailed, end-to-end blog/tutorial on building an environment and actually training a model for a useful use case.show more

GPT-5.5 by Reasoning Effort: I've asked it in Codex... to create a physics-based visualisation of RL cycles for different sized models (70b, 1t, 10t), to demonstrate how the amount of RL you can do differs by model size. My assessment of each: - Low: weird slop - Medium: kinda cooked - High: sort of tried but ultimately incoherent - Extra High: elite - really nice idea and well executed Obviously this is just one shot, but worth trying different reasoning levels for the new models, medium seems to be pretty good for GPT-5.5 and it was really bad for many previous GPT models.show more

No. I started as a noob weightlifting at the... age of 50 after my HiiT based gym was forced to close for Covid. My trainer has helped me the entire way.

There is no downside for ANY man at ANY age to become physically strong.show more
