Opublikowano: 2026-09-28

A humanoid trained on a single afternoon of human motion now sprints, spin-kicks, and cartwheels—then stitches those skills into tasks it never practiced. Berkeley and Stanford’s BeyondMimic, out this week in Science Robotics, turns imitation into a composable motor prior. We unpack the two-stage AI, the hardware transfer, and why agility that you can steer is a different kind of robot. This episode includes AI-generated content.
