Excited to share our latest work: “Bio-Inspired Plastic Neural Networks for Zero-Shot Out-of-Distribution Generalization in Complex Animal-Inspired Robots” 🪲🦎 We show that Hebbian learning outperforms LSTM-based adaptation for real-world transfer. It even works without domain randomization! It can handle: ✅ Uneven terrain ✅ Morphological damage ✅ Sim-to-real gaps

Legged Locomotion… meets Skateboarding [Paper ⬇️] Most robot movement models either rely on fixed patterns or struggle to handle complex changes. DHAL (Discrete-time Hybrid Automata Learning) takes a different approach: using reinforcement learning to teach robots when and how to switch movements in real-time: ✅ Learns when to switch between different motions without pre-labeled data ✅ Handles complex, high-dimensional movements like a quadrupedal robot on a skateboard ✅ Uses a multi-critic architecture to improve contact-based motion control ✅ Works in both simulation and real-world environments with strong results It proves that robots can learn movement transitions on their own, without predefined rules. Paper: Thanks to Hang Liu for bringing this to my attention!

We are excited to share our #CORL2024 paper (oral) on "Learning Quadruped Locomotion Using Differentiable Simulation" done in collaboration with Sangbae Kim Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). We present a new way to learn to walk in minutes without parallelization, outperforming PPO in sample efficiency! PDF: Video: We present a new framework for learning quadruped locomotion. By leveraging differentiable simulation for policy optimization, our approach achieves fast convergence and stable training, significantly outperforming model-free #ReinforcementLearning methods like PPO in sample efficiency. The key enabler is to combine a high-fidelity, non-differentiable simulator for forward dynamics with a simplified surrogate model for gradient backpropagation. Our framework enables learning quadruped walking in simulation in minutes without parallelization. When augmented with GPU parallelization, our approach allows the quadruped robot to master diverse locomotion skills on challenging terrains in minutes. This work highlights one of the first successful real-world applications of differentiable simulation for quadruped robots, offering a compelling alternative to traditional RL methods.

Thrilled to share one of my favorite works this year: DexNDM! We bridge the Sim2Real gap for dexterous in-hand rotation, achieving a true "0-to-1" advancement. The key? DexNDM learns from biased, real-world data without needing any successful demonstrations. Now a general-purpose dexterous hand can stably rotate large books, long rods, & complex objects around any axis, from any wrist pose. This powerful primitive enables complex, long-horizon tasks like teleoperated screwing and furniture assembly. 📄 Paper: 🌐 Project Page:

Excited to finally share Generative Value Learning (GVL), my Google DeepMind project on extracting universal value functions from long-context VLMs via in-context learning! We discovered a simple method to generate zero-shot and few-shot values for 300+ robot tasks and 50+ datasets using SOTA VLMs like Gemini (Try out the demo on our website on your robot video today!) I worked a lot on leveraging foundation models as guidance for robots in my PhD, and to me, this result forges a new frontier in how we can use foundation models for robot learning, given its broad applicability independent of embodiment and task types. Quite excited about how we can build on this work as a community!

Excited to share our latest work on 🎧spatial audio-driven human motion generation. We aim to tackle a largely underexplored yet important problem of enabling virtual humans to move naturally in response to spatial audio—capturing not just what is heard, but also where the sound is coming from. To this end, we introduce the Spatial Audio-Driven Human Motion (SAM) dataset—the first comprehensive dataset featuring paired high-quality human motion and spatial audio recordings. For benchmarking, we develop a generative framework for human MOtion generation driven by SPAtial audio, termed MOSPA, which learns to synthesize realistic and diverse human motions conditioned on spatial audio input. We hope this research could provide a foundation for future research in spatial perception, virtual characters, and embodied AI. The dataset and model will be open-sourced soon. A big thank you to our intern, Shuyang Xu, for the wonderful collaboration! Congratulations, Shuyang!
