DOS security vulnerability, October 2017

Generalizing from simulation

Our latest robotics techniques allow robot controllers, trained entirely in simulation and deployed on physical robots, to react to unplanned changes in the environment as they solve simple tasks. That is, we’ve used these techniques to build closed-loop systems rather than open-loop ones as before.

Sim-to-real transfer of robotic control with dynamics randomization

Asymmetric actor critic for image-based robot learning

Domain randomization and generative models for robotic grasping

Meta-learning for wrestling

We show that for the task of simulated robot wrestling, a meta-learning agent can learn to quickly defeat a stronger non-meta-learning agent, and also show that the meta-learning agent can adapt to physical malfunction.
