Using reinforcement learning, we trained policies for Boston Dynamics 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.

@BostonDynamics At 11.5 mph, Spot is officially faster than most humans. Sleep tight.

Victor Brink1 year ago

@BostonDynamics Great! Now teach it how a change in gait like a cheetah can multiply its top speed further... 110 km/hr (70 mph) This would be epic. The Black Mirror episode featuring a running bot is "Metalhead" for further inspiration.

Watch Spot crouch, jump, climb boxes and leap across gaps, controlled by a neural network trained with reinforcement learning (RL) and multi-expert distillation. Multiple expert policies were trained and distilled together into a single policy that was fine tuned to improve performance over diverse terrains. This work was inspired by ANYmal’s parkour capabilities. The neural network processes depth data from Spot's sensors to construct an understanding of the environment.

Caltech researchers taught a Unitree G1 humanoid robot to run using a single human motion demonstration. They used mathematical optimization to turn that one demonstration into a library of different running movements for the robot to learn from. After training, the G1 reached speeds of up to 3.3 m/s and could run outdoors while avoiding obstacles.

RoboBall is a spherical robot developed by researchers at Texas A&M University to explore lunar craters. It moves using a pendulum system inside the ball, allowing it to roll and steer in any direction. The robot can reach speeds of up to 20 mph, and researchers are working to make it faster and more autonomous for future space missions.

Usain Bolt’s 9.58s 100m record just got smoked… by a robot. Honor’s humanoid “Lightning” tore down the track in 9.32 seconds, hitting a top speed of 14.5 m/s. Then it full-sent into a safety wall at the end. Just a robot that runs faster than the fastest human who ever lived and still walks it off. The future isn’t coming. It’s already lapping us.

These guys trained a robot with water bottles, and the robot learned to pick up other objects it had never practiced on. They did this using reinforcement learning: 1. The robot had to pick a bottle out of a messy tote 2. Then it had to hand the bottle to a person 3. Only water bottles. Nothing else. After they finished training, they tested the robot on different objects: • On bottles, the success went from 80% to 98% • On snack cans, the robot's throughput rose 40% • On soft bags, the robot's performance improved by 13% even though they're deformable and much harder to handle than rigid objects. Snack cans and soft bags have different shapes and weights, and the robot was never trained on them. This was just one of three use cases they tested. Every hour we spend teaching a robot costs a ton of money. If they only get better at handling the one object they practice on, reinforcement learning will never be worth doing. But if the gains carry over, we could focus on teaching the hardest possible tasks and let the robot apply that knowledge elsewhere. Here is the full write-up by Humanoid on the infrastructure they used and what they learned: #ad

Over the last few months, we’ve been thinking about how to learn from “off-domain” data - data from non-robot sources like video or simulation. These data sources are not quite good enough to learn policies (even monolithic VLA models) directly, but they still contain lots of information that can be useful for generalizable robot control. How can we develop robot learning models that are able to make use of this type of data for generalizable control? In new work, that we call HAMSTER, we show that VLMs can be useful for enabling robotic learning from off-domain data, but specifically when used through hierarchical VLA architectures. We show that this class of models can learn generalizable robot policies for the real world from large-scale, off-domain data. A 🧵 (1/10)

The coolest part of Microduck might not be the robot. It's how it learns to move. This repo shows the full reinforcement learning pipeline behind Microduck. The robot learns in simulation using MuJoCo, PPO and GPU-based training, then the trained policy is exported to ONNX and deployed on the real robot. But the real challenge is sim-to-real. The simulation models things like actuator behavior, battery voltage, command delays, friction and even gear backlash. That helps make the learned policy work when it moves from simulation to the physical robot. The repo includes policies for walking, fall recovery, sitting, standing, kicking, ground picking and even roller skating. Train in simulation. Test the behavior. Export the policy. Run it on a real robot.

Unitree Robotics unveiled Monday a new humanoid robot, achieving a 2-meter standing high jump and a top speed of 12.66 m/s (45.6 km/h) with a leg length of 0.85 meters. The company says the machine has surpassed the standing high-jump and running-speed records of humans worldwide, after just over three months of development. With substantial room for further optimization, Unitree says the robot's performance could improve significantly in the months ahead.

Policies trained on real robot data via imitation can be surprisingly capable. But for domains like dexterous manipulation, they are often not quite good enough: they move slowly, miss grasps, make unreliable contact, and fail under small perturbations. Can we improve them without any additional data collection on the real robot? In SCORE, we show that we can improve real-world diffusion/flow policies cheaply by using simulation to simply learn how to steer them on deployment. This leads to large gains in real-world success and speed across a variety of tasks, without requiring additional real-world experience: 🧵 (1/10)

Chameleons’ tongues accelerate faster than a fighter jet, hitting speeds over 13 mph in just fractions of a second.

We have a huge news to share today! Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning. It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own. And all for less than $400. See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: (video with sound on 🔊)

Teleoperating a robot is hard. This means that when performing a robot task via teleoperation — say, to collect examples for training a robot policy — it’s almost unavoidably slower than you would like, below either the capabilities of the human expert on their own or the robot performing the task. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to fix this? Unfortunately, it’s harder than it looks. You can’t just execute faster, as this alters the distribution of environment states the policy will encounter. Nadun Ranawaka Arachchige and Zhenyang Chen propose Speed-Adaptive Imitation Learning (SAIL), which adds error-adaptive guidance, adapts execution speed according to task structure, predicts controller-invariant action targets to ensure robustness across execution speeds, and explicitly models delays from, for example, sensor latency. Watch episode #59 of RoboPapers, with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Chris Paxton to learn more!

China’s new robot just beat Usain Bolt… and it doesn’t even have hands. Stands next to a height chart. Launches nearly 2 meters straight up from a dead stop. Lands clean. Does it again. Then hits 12.66 m/s on the track. That’s 45.6 km/h — faster than Bolt’s peak recorded speed. • Legs only 0.85 m long • Built in just over 3 months • No hands. No grippers. Pure speed machine. • Zero independent verification And the timing? It dropped one day before Unitree’s IPO. Strip a robot of everything except legs — and it outruns the fastest human alive. Give it hands back, and every one of these numbers gets worse. So… does the record even count?
