But with the help of machine learning, a robot learned to walk in just a few hours—a good 12 months faster than the average human. Not bad. Reinforcement Learning ...

For example, a pair of robot legs called Cassie taught itself to walk using reinforcement learning, but only after it had done so in a simulation. “The problem is your simulator will never be as ...

Virtual limitations: Reinforcement learning has been used to train many bots to walk inside simulations, but transferring that ability to the real world is hard. “Many of the videos that you see ...
