Boston Dynamics and RAI Institute advance humanoid robotics
Summary
The collaboration will focus on enhancing the capabilities of the new electric Atlas robot, establishing a shared reinforcement learning training pipeline to develop dynamic and adaptable mobile manipulation skills. Released last year, the kit enabled unique locomotion training on the quadruped robot, leading to record running speeds of 11.5mph (5.2m/s). The project will explore reinforcement learning techniques to enable full-body coordination without requiring rigid control constraints Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics, highlighted the significance of the work: “We are living in an extremely exciting time for humanoid robot development. The electric Atlas represents years of integrated hardware and software development, providing a platform designed to push the limits of AI-driven robotics. As the project progresses, Boston Dynamics and the RAI Institute plan to share updates, research findings, and demonstrations showcasing Atlas’s evolving abilities.
