MIT used simulations to teach a robot to run, and the results are hilarious

Scientists at MIT managed to teach a robot to run using machine learning. Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time, though, the scientists at MIT used simulations to teach the Mini Cheetah to run fast and adapt to walking on different terrain. The researchers showcased the results in a video last week, and they are both intriguing and hilarious. This isn't the first time that MIT has taught the robot new tricks, either.
