Robot Learning Technique Enables Quick Task Adaptation Without Pre-existing Policies
By
–
This “on-the-fly” robot learning technique brings us closer to a future where a household robot won't need a pre-existing policy for every scenario. Instead, they can learn new tasks quickly w/o extensive real-world interaction by just taking a scan of the target scenario.

Reinforcement Learning Enhances Robotic Policy Simulation
By
–
When the scene is ready to go, it can be exported & brought into the simulator. Here, an enhanced algorithm using reinforcement learning ensures the robotic policy is effective & robust in the real world.

Biomimicry at its best.
— Pascal Bornet (@pascal_bornet) 1 août 2024
The Velox robot can move through the water and over sand, pebbles, snow, ice…
Its versatility is due to its undulating soft fins and move in a hyperbolic pattern, similar to a stingray.
