OpenAI shows the latest development in its algorithms
Locomotion algorithms advances appear painfully slow from latest results
The two videos above show the results of Elon Musk's OpenAI locomotion studies. It may not look like much, but the two figures are shown teaching themselves to walk and run, with one responding to the changing location of a ball.
It is significant because the figures are receiving no programming input and are freely determining what motions to take in order to walk and run to achieve their objectives. The top video shows a representation of Atlas, a real robot from Boston Dynamics. The real Atlas currently walks by using sensors and pre-determined programming but can't run.
An algorithm like what OpenAI is developing in the above videos would allow the real Atlas to walk and run unaided, thus achieving autonomous locomotion based on an internal striving. The algorithms put in place would essentially be thinking through its best moves forward.
