The South Korean company revealed new details about how the Atlas robot learned to lift and carry heavy industrial loads using artificial intelligence, reinforcement learning and millions of digital simulations and perhaps the most impressive thing is not just the weight, it is the way the robot learns to handle it. In the new tests, Atlas appears carrying industrial bars weighing more than 45 kg like refrigerators, while continuously adjusting the balance of his own body in real time.
The researchers altered the weight of the objects, the level of ground friction, the force needed in the hands and even small external perturbations to force the system to continually adapt. Every time the robots correctly completed a task while maintaining balance and control, it received an algorithmic reward, little by little it began to discover the most efficient movement patterns on its own.
