alt Hacker NewsAs impressive as this setup may be, I'm still amazed at how slow this type of robot is, whether amateur or professional grade. I have no expertise in this field, but as an observer, the apparent progress in this area seems very limited. I guess my expectations are too high and my understanding of the problems to solve is too low.
It’s partially my fault I currently clip the max speed _and_ I only input soft control changes when teleoperating to avoid crashing into things. The robot itself could definitely move more quickly than what you see in the video.
It would be interesting to explore how RL can be applied on top of my (flawed) human demos to optimize beyond what I’m able to do.
