I sat down with @TheHumanoidAI a few weeks ago to discuss best practices for training and deploying RL on humanoids. lots of heuristics and tricks of the trade here, take a listen! thehumanoid.ai/deployment-rea…
So there's this game called league of legends
I’m being 100% serious when I say if you buy me this I will make your robot do literally anything you can possibly imagine.

This is what happens when you start doing RL
ahhhh yes good morning let’s open up the Infinite Information River for a nice 20 minutes before getting out of bed or thinking any original thoughts at all
it feels like in robot learning there are two groups: > learning people who treat robotics as a problem to solve > roboticists using learning as a tool we need both camps to kiss.
No, 8 reward terms are pretty easy to tune for walking. Model-based controllers like MPC can have one hundred parameters from convex cost functions to robot dynamics to optimization solver. This is the typical complexity of solving real-world (rather than toy) problems.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200k/year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
We've just closed an oversubscribed $403 million Series A, and are thrilled to announce additional investors including @MercedesBenz , Japan Post Capital, RyderVentures (the corporate venture capital arm of @RyderSystemInc ), @ARKInvest & more. We look forward to building…
it is very telling that “BIOS”, in addition to being an acronym, is also the Greek word for “life”. meanwhile, “UEFI” is, of course, ancient Greek for “unified extensible firmware interface”
An interesting shot from Starship Flight 6: In this image, the Ship and Superheavy booster, as well as the ice/etc. appear to have a magenta-glow to them. This is because I edited the picture in photoshop. Follow for more space facts.
I will be attending #IROS2024 for @Apptronik in Abu Dhabi. I look forward to seeing the latest awesome research work in Humanoids, Legged Robots, and Manipulation. Feel free to shoot me a message if you are interested in meeting!
