Robot uses MuJoCo as a tool for kinematics and motion planning, succeeds in 6 real-world trials
ki_ki_ki1 · x · 2026-10-14
An impressive robotics demo: the model treats classical robotics methods as tools, calling MuJoCo for forward/inverse kinematics, dynamics, and collision detection, and combining multiple optimization methods to generate motion. It then iterates on the real robot, showing strong spatial understanding—succeeding after only 6 trials.
