Motion Tracking with Muscles: Predictive Control of a Parametric Musculoskeletal Canine Model
Vittorio La Barbera, Steven Bohez, Leonard Hasenclever +2
We introduce a novel musculoskeletal model of a dog, procedurally generated from accurate 3D muscle meshes. Accompanying this model is a motion capture-based locomotion task compat…
Whole-Body Model-Predictive Control of Legged Robots with MuJoCo
John Z. Zhang, Taylor A. Howell, Zeji Yi +6
We demonstrate the surprising real-world effectiveness of a very simple approach to whole-body model-predictive control (MPC) of quadruped and humanoid robots: the iterative LQR (i…
Achieving Human Level Competitive Robot Table Tennis
David B. D'Ambrosio, Saminda Abeyruwan, Laura Graesser +24
Achieving human-level speed and performance on real world tasks is a north star for the robotics research community. This work takes a step towards that goal and presents the first…
MuJoCo Playground
Kevin Zakka, Baruch Tabanpour, Qiayuan Liao +10
We introduce MuJoCo Playground, a fully open-source framework for robot learning built with MJX, with the express goal of streamlining simulation, training, and sim-to-real transfe…
Learning Agile Soccer Skills for a Bipedal Robot with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Tuomas Haarnoja, Ben Moran, Guy Lever +25
We investigate whether Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) is able to synthesize sophisticated and safe movement skills for a low-cost, miniature humanoid robot that can be compo…
