RoboSumo

“RoboSumo”, virtual humanoid “metalearning” robots initially lack knowledge of how to even walk, and given the goals of learning to move around, and pushing the opposing agent out of the ring.

Through this adversarial learning process, the agents learn how to adapt to changing conditions; when an agent is then removed from this virtual environment and placed in a new virtual environment with high winds, the agent braces to remain upright, suggesting it had learned how to balance in a generalized way.
