Thanks to everyone at @LeRobotHF, among others @nepyope @pepijn2233

Thanks to @antoinepirrone and Kimate, we made it walk in simulation. Next step is to transfer to real-world.

Getting SAC to Work on a Massive Parallel Simulator: An RL Journey With Off-Policy Algorithms (Part I) | Antonin Raffin | Homepage This post details how I managed to get the Soft-Actor Critic (SAC) and other off-policy reinforcement learning algorithms to work on massively parallel simulators (think Isaac Sim with thousands of robots simulated in parallel).

Interesting blog post by @araffin2 on using SAC vs PPO for learning to walk in simulation. Part 2 when? ^^

Why @huggingface's robot has a @pollenrobotics vibe? 🤗

yes I get it and you are right. I know some women who could be parts of the next, even bigger, panel.

I share your concern. That's why I focus on actions.
Please help us organize the next Women in Data Science hackathon. Our teammate Dana organized one a few weeks ago.

Happy birthday @LeRobotHF

Thanks to @huggingface community and team for your trust 🤗

Things are just getting started 🚀

This weekend @MistralAI hackathon will take place in Paris.
@HuggingFace and @phospho_ai will bring a lot of robots!

We need more hackathons to democratize open-source robotics!
ChatGPT moment of robotics is coming. We have no choice but to be ready 🤗
