Remi Cadene (ex-Tesla, ex-Hugging Face robotics lead) quote-shares a robot video with the command "Do a kick flip", prompting the original poster's quip that "sim2real just got a lot harder" 😆.
A fun embodied-AI moment: replicating skateboard tricks from sim on real hardware touches the classic sim2real pain points — dynamic balance, transient contact, and high-DoF motion.
