Atlas humanoid robot reunites with old master to supercharge skills, power

The collaboration tackles reinforcement learning challenges in robotics, focusing on sim-to-real transfer, whole-body manipulation, and contact strategies.

In an effort to catch up with advancements offered by its Chinese counterparts, Boston Dynamics has partnered with the Robotics & AI Institute (RAI Institute) to enhance reinforcement learning in its electric Atlas humanoid robot.

Boston Dynamics and the RAI Institute will build on past collaborations, including the Spot’s Reinforcement Learning Researcher Kit. Released last year, the kit enabled unique behaviors and locomotion, helping Spot reach a record speed of 11.5 mph (5.2 m/s).
