Barkour: Benchmarking Animal-level Agility with Quadruped Robots
Ken Caluwaerts, Atil Iscen, J. Chase Kew +41
Animals have evolved various agile locomotion strategies, such as sprinting, leaping, and jumping. There is a growing interest in developing legged robots that move like their biol…
From Pixels to Legs: Hierarchical Learning of Quadruped Locomotion
Deepali Jain, Atil Iscen, Ken Caluwaerts
Legged robots navigating crowded scenes and complex terrains in the real world are required to execute dynamic leg movements while processing visual input for obstacle avoidance an…
Learning Agile Locomotion Skills with a Mentor
Atil Iscen, George Yu, Alejandro Escontrela +3
Developing agile behaviors for legged robots remains a challenging problem. While deep reinforcement learning is a promising approach, learning truly agile behaviors typically requ…
Rapidly Adaptable Legged Robots via Evolutionary Meta-Learning
Xingyou Song, Yuxiang Yang, Krzysztof Choromanski +4
Learning adaptable policies is crucial for robots to operate autonomously in our complex and quickly changing world. In this work, we present a new meta-learning method that allows…
Policies Modulating Trajectory Generators
Atil Iscen, Ken Caluwaerts, Jie Tan +4
We propose an architecture for learning complex controllable behaviors by having simple Policies Modulate Trajectory Generators (PMTG), a powerful combination that can provide both…
Deep Reinforcement Learning for Tensegrity Robot Locomotion
Marvin Zhang, Xinyang Geng, Jonathan Bruce +5
Tensegrity robots, composed of rigid rods connected by elastic cables, have a number of unique properties that make them appealing for use as planetary exploration rovers. However,…
State Estimation for Tensegrity Robots
Ken Caluwaerts, Jonathan Bruce, Jeffrey M. Friesen +1
Tensegrity robots are a class of compliant robots that have many desirable traits when designing mass efficient systems that must interact with uncertain environments. Various prom…
