Google's DeepMind AI just taught itself to walk (youtube.com)

Thank you for the vid

Clearly needs some energy constraint factored in to look less like monty python :) I also wonder if the gravity is realistic.

A similar video from 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgaEE27nsQw Looks much smoother, because of muscle and nerve simulations. At 0:55 you can see the generations learning how to walk.

We are pretty good at walking and moving fast forward..

I wonder how fast a AI could get at climbing- walking alterations, when given a challenging terrain..

silly deepmind, toes are for walking heels are for balance

If anyone is interested in learning more how reinforcement learning works, I would highly recommend openai gym [0]. It provides a controlled environment where you can develop learning algorithms to accomplish an objective goal. It also has a walkers similar to the one in the video [1]. For learning more about reinforcement learning, I would recommend Richard S. Sutton book Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. He has a new draft available free online [2]. Or the course Practical RL [3].

one more sensationalist headline for deepmind
