Breathing Life Into Disney’s Robotic Characters With Deep Reinforcement Learning
DescriptionAt Disney, we are fundamentally rethinking what entertainment robotics means to this world. In this talk, we will provide insight into the robotic character platform developed by Walt Disney Imagineering that enables the rapid design of legged robotic characters that learn to imitate artist-specified animations with a combination of deep reinforcement learning and GPU-accelerated simulation. We’ll also showcase live for attendees the first characters developed with this platform – our BD-X series droids.
