Movement of the robot closer to running a real dog

Even the most advanced robots, created in the likeness of animals, are inferior to them in many ways. However, Google developers

AI has found a way to improve the way devices move. Thanks to a new method of movement, the robot is brought closer to the running of a real dog.

The engineers' goal was to find a wayeffectively transfer animal movements to robots. Already existing methods require a lot of participation from developers, who have to independently adjust each “step”.

Google's new AI method adds a littlecontrolled chaos in robot training. First, the developers recorded the dogs' movements and created a digital model based on this. They then introduced an element of randomness into the model. For example, they made the virtual robot weigh more, or “gave” it weaker engines, or increased friction with the ground.

As a result, robots began to move better and perform more complex maneuvers without any involvement of developers.
