zhengyiluo · x · 2026-08-24
The author references the recent World Humanoid Robot Games and highlights their 2024 project, "SMPLOlympics". They built physically simulated environments and trained lifelike RL policies for over 10 sports, including high jump, long jump, hurdles, tennis, soccer, basketball, and boxing. A shared video shows a high jump demo where the running style bears a surprising resemblance to human athletes.
