Very proud to finally share Generalized Actuator Networks (GeAN) 🎉🤖
GeAN enables zero-shot sim2real transfer for muscular robots for the first time. A huge step forward unlocking complex systems to perform even more intricate tasks while leveraging the inherent benefits of these systems. Well done, @JanS1854!

First sim-to-real transfer for muscle-actuated robots 🦾
Muscle-actuated robots are powerful but hard to model. GeAN addresses this longstanding challenge by learning muscle and tendon dynamics, enabling sim-to-real transfer.

MLSS (mlss.cc) is back in Tübingen. It is hard to believe how much the field has changed since Alex Smola and I did the first MLSS, and since the first Tübingen edition in 2003. Our last in-person edition here was in 2017, so this feels long overdue (1/3)

100k cycles of finger open & close. No motor overheating. Very little wear on the finger tendons.
Tendon-driven hands don't usually publish their data on fatigue because tendon wear & tear is an unsolved problem. But we found a way.

Excited to welcome Dieter Buchler @dtrbchlr to the University of Alberta! We are bringing robotics and reinforcement learning together for an awesome, interactive, and experiential AI.
A bit late but still want to congratulate @RichardSSutton for his achievements in RL and AI & his huge positive influence on so many researchers!
Guess it’s a good moment to announce that I joined @UAlberta 😎 Feeling honored to work alongside Rich and my other colleagues!
