Atlas with wheels tests RL whole-body controller reliability outside the lab

1 reports1 reporting sourcesUpdated 11 hours ago

Overview

Event synthesis

When rubber meets the road, we have to get creative to ensure our robots will be reliable and performant outside of the lab! Putting wheels on Atlas let us test how faithfully an RL whole-body controller can work with real actuators running at the edge.
