Facebook’s AI researchers are teaching robots to walk like humans

Facebook says that Rapid Motor Adaptation is a ‘breakthrough’ in AI, allowing robots to walk on sand, in mud, hiking trails, tall grass and over a dirt pile ‘without a single failure’ during trials. — Facebook

NEW DELHI: Researchers at University of California, Berkeley and Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science, along with social media giant Facebook’s AI research team, have developed a new way for robots to walk better.

The method allows robots to walk on different surfaces, providing more stability and possibly more functionality. How to have robots adapt when walking on different services is a problem that many computer scientists are working on.
