simulation & RL for humanoids | robotics eng intern @ PAL Robotics | robotics mEng @ uSorbonne | Past: uTokyo, AIRBUS
Joined October 2022
Just deployed a policy trained in Isaac Lab on a real Kinova Gen3 using ROS2. Sim2Real isn’t just a buzzword, here’s a minimal deployment setup, open-source and lightweight. GitHub + demo: https://t.co/L6pLIFn5Ay Hope it helps others working on Sim2Real too!

Let's applaud @kscalelabs for the contributions to open-source & their bold endeavor! Robotics is extremely hard as a new startup (which is why I'm quite excited about our projects on the topic as a more established startup) but they gave it a real go and will be an inspiration
K-scale cancels orders and refunds deposits for kbot. I thought all the VCs were excited about US-based robotics, what happen?

I tried this setup with Talos, I only changed a few things and it already looks really good!!
Coming to mjlab today! This is vanilla RL, no motion imitation/AMP. Natural gaits emerge from minimal rewards: velocity tracking, upright torso, speed-adaptive joint regularization, and contact quality (foot clearance, slip, soft landings). No reference trajectories or gait

Completely forgot to mention but the IK config is now open-sourced in GMR! You can retarget all LaFAN1 motions to @PALRobotics' Talos 🎉🤖 Huge thanks to @ZeYanjie for this really cool framework!

Didn’t go max speed for safety and space reasons but pretty happy with the result!

An almost identical reward setup works for the quadruped (turned off 1 reward). We get a beautiful symmetric trot gait without explicitly optimizing for it.

Humanoids were long a thing of sci-fi, then they were a thing of research, but today, with the launch of NEO, humanoids become a product. NEO is the first step on a journey towards a more abundant future and we’re excited for you to join us on this journey. Order your NEO today.

I'm amazed by how great it seems to work for the price/motors
Today we are launching 100 early pre-orders for Mr. Tensors @eyecandyrobots, an inexpensive opensource lifelike robot character that's cool enough toy for kids (and a human-robot-interaction + reinforcement learning research tool for academia and hobbyists). We are looking for

Unitree G1 crawl policy deployed to hardware! Plenty of room for improvement, but it's a start.

@brenthyi and I are at #IROS2025 to present PyRoki 🫶 Find us either: - tomorrow (tues 10:30am) in room 102C, or - anytime during the conference!
Excited to introduce PyRoki ("Python Robot Kinematics"): easier IK, trajectory optimization, motion retargeting... with an open-source toolkit on both CPU and GPU

The first image (white background) is from my ROSCon 2024 summary blog. The second two (pink background) are from the ROSCon 2025 program. Sometimes it pays off to be salty enough to take matters into your own hands.

Impressive but the face is reaaally uncanny

Wow Harrison taught me Python and now he’s using mjlab 😅
exceptionally easy install and demo at least. Didn't realize viz ran via browser immediately makes it easy to visualize training progress from a personal computer while processing occurs on a server/workhorse machine true test will be trying this on custom problem and robot
