Learning More With Less: Sample Efficient Model-Based RL for Loco-Manipulation

Jan 17, 2025 · Research Publication · Boston Dynamics · Humanoid

By combining the agility of legged locomotion with the capabilities of manipulation, loco-manipulation platforms have the potential to perform complex tasks in real-world applications. To this end, state-of-the-art quadrupeds with manipulators, such as the Boston Dynamics Spot, have emerged to provide a capable and robust platform.
