Robots that learn
We’ve created a robotics system, trained entirely in simulation and deployed on a physical robot, which can learn a new task after seeing it done once.
SKooP: Symmetric Koopman Predictions for Faster and More Generalizable Legged Robot Locomotion with Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms classically suffer from poor sample efficiency. In robotics, a recent line of work has emerged addressing this problem by encoding physics priors in the learning process.
