Neural Scene Representation for Locomotion on Structured Terrain

no code implementations16 Jun 2022 David Hoeller, Nikita Rudin, Christopher Choy, Animashree Anandkumar, Marco Hutter

We propose a learning-based method to reconstruct the local terrain for locomotion with a mobile robot traversing urban environments.

Learning to Walk in Minutes Using Massively Parallel Deep Reinforcement Learning

4 code implementations24 Sep 2021 Nikita Rudin, David Hoeller, Philipp Reist, Marco Hutter

In this work, we present and study a training set-up that achieves fast policy generation for real-world robotic tasks by using massive parallelism on a single workstation GPU.

Learning a State Representation and Navigation in Cluttered and Dynamic Environments

no code implementations7 Mar 2021 David Hoeller, Lorenz Wellhausen, Farbod Farshidian, Marco Hutter

We show that decoupling the pipeline into these components results in a sample efficient policy learning stage that can be fully trained in simulation in just a dozen minutes.

Learning a Contact-Adaptive Controller for Robust, Efficient Legged Locomotion

no code implementations21 Sep 2020 Xingye Da, Zhaoming Xie, David Hoeller, Byron Boots, Animashree Anandkumar, Yuke Zhu, Buck Babich, Animesh Garg

We present a hierarchical framework that combines model-based control and reinforcement learning (RL) to synthesize robust controllers for a quadruped (the Unitree Laikago).
