HoST: Robots Learning to Stand Up Across Diverse Postures

We have all seen humanoid robots that can recover from a while. Teaching them to stand up in can be challenging. HoST is a reinforcement learning framework that learns standing-up control from scratch. As the researchers explain:

HoST effectively learns posture-adaptive motions by leveraging a multi-critic architecture and curriculum-based training on diverse simulated terrains. 

For testing this approach, a Unitree G1 robot was used. The robot was able to get up on a grass slope, when leaning against a tree, or other surfaces.

Robots are teleoperated all the time but getting them to handle delicate objects dexterously is not always easy. Dexterity Gen (DexGen) is a controller that brings unprecedented dexterous manipulation capabilities to robots. Thanks to this, it is now possible for humans to remote control robots to use a pen, screwdriver or syringe.

This generative model refines high-risk motion prompts into safe actions. It combines the benefits of learning from human demonstration and sim-to-real reinforcement learning. As the researchers explain:

With large-scale pretraining, Dexterity Gen provides reliable guidance across a wide range of objects—whether it’s rough object edges, tiny items, or the effects of gravity. We can handle them all.

Robots can find it a bit tricky to grab glass and mirrors. These objects are reflective and make it hard for robotic sensors and grippers to handle them effectively. With Pre-Touch Sensor TK-01 by Osaka University startup Thinker, it is possible for robotic arms to grab and handle mirrors, glass and other reflective objects. It achieves real-time measurements of “distance and position” of objects at high resolution.

The above video shows this robot in action. You can find out more about the sensor here.
