  • In release 4.0, we advanced Spot’s locomotion abilities thanks to the power of reinforcement learning. Paul Domanico, Robotics Engineer at Boston Dynamics talks through how Spot’s hybrid approach of combining reinforcement learning with model predictive control creates an even more stable robot in the most antagonistic environments.

    We live in amazing times, and I hope that in our very near future that we can have versatile personal robots, especially if robots help in the raw materials, transport, and mining to self build, eventually even help us colonize space, by building cities & infrastructure well before we arrive.
