@yacineMTB @ChongZitaZhang For complex, especially soft systems, good domain randomization is hard and ends up relying on some form of model anyway. Using known structures and learning the rest can be way more efficient…

@ChongZitaZhang we need an actuator network -> we don't need an actuator network -> we need to collect data, come up with a domain randomization scheme that contains the distribution of the actuator and have a procedure to check that the distribution contains the actuator dynamics

Very proud to finally share Generalized Actuator Networks (GeAN) 🎉🤖 GeAN enables zero-shot sim2real transfer for muscular robots for the first time. A huge step forward unlocking complex systems to perform even more intricate tasks while leveraging the inherent benefits of these systems. Well done, @JanS1854!
Jan Schneider@JanS1854

First sim-to-real transfer for muscle-actuated robots 🦾 Muscle-actuated robots are powerful but hard to model. GeAN addresses this longstanding challenge by learning muscle and tendon dynamics, enabling sim-to-real transfer. arxiv.org/abs/2604.09487 youtu.be/EOgdJxghYaw 🧵👇

100k cycles of finger open & close. No motor overheating. Very little wear on the finger tendons. Tendon-driven hands don't usually publish their data on fatigue because tendon wear & tear is an unsolved problem. But we found a way.

🏓🤖 Our humanoid robot can now rally over 100 consecutive shots against a human in real table tennis — fully autonomous, sub-second reaction, human-like strikes.

I'm pleased to announce that, starting October 1st, I will be joining the Computer Science department at Lund University (in Sweden) as a Senior Lecturer. I will join the Robotic and Semantic Systems group and collaborate in the RobotLab LTH, where I'll bring my RL expertise.

We collected almost 16,000 (5,000 shown) balls from human play, ball throwers, and the robot itself in the real world, and augmented them with random noise. The data is split into serves and rallies. @Github goo.gle/4jCZLHO. Happy to serve up some training data 🤖🏓.

Today we are releasing the dataset of table tennis ball trajectories used to train the @GoogleDeepMind robot that can play amateur table tennis with humans (sites.google.com/corp/view/comp…). This work was accepted for presentation at #ICRA2025 and we hope to see you there!

We’re helping robots self-improve with the power of LLMs. 🤖 Introducing the Summarize, Analyze, Synthesize (SAS) prompt, which analyzes how they perform tasks based on previous actions and then suggests ways for them to get better using the medium of table tennis. 🏓

RLC registration is up! Last year we sold out so register early. In particular, register early if you need Canadian visas. rl-conference.cc/register.html

Excited to welcome Dieter Buchler @dtrbchlr to the University of Alberta! We are bringing robotics and reinforcement learning together for an awesome, interactive, and experiential AI.
Dieter Büchler@dtrbchlr

A bit late but still want to congratulate @RichardSSutton for his achievements in RL and AI & his huge positive influence on so many researchers! Guess it’s a good moment to announce that I joined @UAlberta 😎 Feeling honored to work alongside Rich and my other colleagues!

@dtrbchlr @AmiiThinks @MPI_IS @UAlberta Hello Sir, hope you doing well! I would love to collaborate on any robotics project, I am looking to work in path planning and want to take the research on algos like DDPG AND TRPO forward. Please let me know if you have any opportunities this summer! Thanks

“There are no authorities in science,” says Turing Award winner @RichardSSutton, Amii Fellow & Canada @CIFAR_News AI Chair. Sit down with Rich and @camlinke as they discuss the journey to this moment. Watch now: hubs.la/Q039xBP-0 #TuringAward #AI #ReinforcementLearning

@dtrbchlr @AmiiThinks @MPI_IS @UAlberta I've always been fascinated by robot intelligence. RL + Robotics is my dream. I study RL, publish implementations, and try to fit NNs in ESP32 :). I'm taking my first steps alone due to a lack of collaboration. This opportunity would be like a dream come true. Super enthusiastic!
