tyrell_turing · x · 2026-10-30
Lacuna Research showcases SCAMPER (Simulated Control via Augmented Motor Priors for Embodied Reinforcement learning): drag a slider and watch a virtual rat transition from walk to trot to gallop — gaits it never saw in its training data. Built by Aidan Sirbu, Talmo Pereira, Blake Richards and collaborators, with the paper publicly available.
