"Starting on the Right Foot with Reinforcement Learning". bostondynamics.com. Boston Dynamics. March 19, 2024. Retrieved November 1, 2024. The legged robots we've built at Boston Dynamics have historically leveraged Model Predictive Control (MPC), a control strategy that predicts and optimizes the future states of the robot in order to decide what action to take in the moment.
