Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence for Robot Control

Agility CEO Damion Shelton and CTO Jonathan Hurst sat down to talk about robot control. Is artificial intelligence and reinforcement learning the future of controlling robots like Digit? This conversation comes on the heels of Cassie establishing a Guinness world record for the fastest 100M run by a bipedal robot. The most relevant fact being the team used a learned policy to help Cassie achieve this milestone. Will this just be the first of many examples of machine learning used this way?
