Bipedal robot learns to score goals through trial and error
Original: A longstanding goal for robot reinforcement learning is that robots learn from their own physical experience, as humans
Researchers report progress on a longstanding goal in robot reinforcement learning: machines improving through their own physical experience, the way humans and animals do. The team studied the problem using a contact-rich task, training a bipedal robot to score soccer goals through direct trial and error rather than explicit programming or simulation alone.
Why now: New arXiv research shows robots learning motor skills from real physical experience, a milestone robotics watchers follow closely.
