    I love this lil guys flailing around and getting back up. Its like watching a toddler learning to run before it can walk.
  • @kevinfontanari
    At 2:35 you can clearly see the robot dabbing at the ball, truly remarkable
  • @mhm6421
    3:42 That woman making the robots fall is on the top 10 list of robots (we all know which list it is)
  • @syrus3k
    Whilst boston dynamics robots look amazing, what they really need is this kind of learning so they can be fully autonomous.
  • @duffyscottc
    This is so cool! I'm really amazed at how they're training real-world robots in simulated environments to get more experience than they could ever achieve in the real world. The future is amazing
  • @BetoVickers
    3:40 you can see how the lady feels uncomfortable while trying to throw the robot off balance 🤣
  • @limbo1n
    They absolutely need to celebrate their goals. They are already adorable, but that would push them over the edge.
  • @user-qr4jf4tv2x
    the robots need to simulate real football/soccer by pretending to be in pain until 5 people pick them up
  • @aspuzling
    I think one of the reasons the simulated players seem move around like crazy is that they don't consider energy expenditure in their learning. Imagine if the algorithm tried to minimise the energy spent when chasing the ball or defending a position. I think if they did this it would result in much smoother and realistic play. The paper notes that they also don't try to model the real world behaviour of the servo motors and battery so performance drops as the servos become misaligned and battery charge levels drop. Again, optimising for energy usage would probably help a lot here.
  • Reminds me of the bet I read about years ago - that 2050 robots will triumph over the best human players. Robocup was founded with that goal in mind in 1997. "RoboCup is an international scientific initiative with the goal to advance the state of the art of intelligent robots. When established in 1997, the original mission was to field a team of robots capable of winning against the human soccer World Cup champions by 2050."

    4:14 woah, you recording these robots in person in their lab? amazing!
  • @taylanhoca
    Before anyone was talking about even a shred of AI, this channel was releasing best science backed videos in the field
  • @umbertomann
    Love this channel!! Thank you for you efforts ❤
