Menlo Research released Cyclotron, the official RL training framework for its open-source Asimov 1 humanoid robot, built on Isaac Lab. It trains locomotion policies with PPO + adversarial motion priors in simulation and deploys them to the real robot. Sentdex is already training with it, and the team is challenging others to beat the default policy.
