Humanoid Robot Wins 400m at World Games

A video posted by Eren Chen shows the 400m champion running in slow motion at the World Humanoid Robot Games. Herbie Bradley replied that RL giveth and RL taketh away. David Ha noted the gait recalls novel locomotion policies found in MuJoCo environments, except these work in the real world. The posts treat the footage as evidence that reinforcement learning both produces and limits the robot's physical performance.
