PPO has long dominated robot locomotion training in simulation. SAC, despite its sample efficiency, couldn't keep up.
We analyze why:

🔥Integrated into RSL-RL, our approach requires only minimal changes, making SAC a drop-in alternative out of the box.
The Robotic Systems Lab designs machines, creates actuation principles, and builds up control technologies for autonomous operation in challenging environments.
- We’re excited to be receiving one of these platforms for our research. Looking forward to exploring what we can build with it and contributing to the next wave of humanoid robotics.NVIDIA announces the first open humanoid robot reference design built for robotics research.
