· research publication · Agility Robotics · Humanoid

Evidence notes
  • The RSS paper trains a reinforcement-learning controller for robust bipedal jumping across different distances and directions.
  • After multi-stage training, the policy transfers directly to real Cassie hardware for standing long jumps, elevated-platform jumps, and multi-axis jumps.
  • It is a strong Cassie research result because it pushes the platform beyond walking into aggressive dynamic maneuvers.
