How should we control multi-fingered robot hands? 🖐️🤖 With RL policies. Using policies trained in simulation, our new 13 DoF hand for Atlas can autonomously rotate a ball between its fingers, spin a drumstick, and thread a nut. 🧵 (1/5)

In 2018, I didn’t recognize the importance of the original DeepMimic paper. At the time, humanoid robots were rare and domain randomization was still relatively new. Today, many demos and whole-body controllers are powered by DeepMimic-inspired methods. 🧵

#RSS2024 was a great! I enjoyed the talks, demos, posters and Delft. It was one of the best organized conferences. Looking forward to RSS 2025 in Los Angeles.
