Congrats to Yunao Ma for successfully defending his PhD "Towards Agile Whole-Body Legged Loco-Manipulation". Can't wait to play badminton against #ANYmal. D-MAVT, ETH Zurich ETH Zurich Georg Martius

The control policy was actually trained with a different arm + different gripper. It's amazing to see it working with the new setup😍

A legged robot can play badminton #autonomously with humans with the help of a #ReinforcementLearning-based controller that coordinates perception and movements. Robotic Systems Lab Learn more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/3Z1AYF7

Table 4 is my personal favorite table across all the papers I’ve read in the past years. Super clean and convincing🥳

Proud to share our latest work from Robotic Systems Lab ! A legged robot that rallies with humans in badminton 🏸📷 Whole-body agility, onboard perception, RL-trained.

Yuntao Ma Check out my Kengoro badminton too🤣

Scientists have developed a control framework that enables #Raibo, a legged robot, to perform #parkour-like maneuvers and navigate complex environments autonomously. KAISTPR Jemin hwangbo Read more in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/4dw3tAE

Swarm navigation at 20 m/s with no communication, no state estimation, & on a $21 computer? This paper combines deep learning + differentiable sim for zero-shot sim-to-real flight. It is an underrated breakthrough. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2407.10648 #naturemachineintelligence

It only snowed once before I left for vacation last winter and it stayed just two days. Perfect timing for our experiments! Among all aspects of this project, timing experiments are by far my favorite. Robotic Systems Lab #LeggedRobotics #RoboticManipulation #SnowyTesting

+1 for "context engineering" over "prompt engineering". People associate prompts with short task descriptions you'd give an LLM in your day-to-day use. When in every industrial-strength LLM app, context engineering is the delicate art and science of filling the context window

We're organizing a workshop at humanoids about RL and model based control. Please submit an extended abstract for the poster session!!
