The humanoid RL challenge

Train an RL policy tonight; watch it run on a real humanoid tomorrow.

Start RL training and zero-shot sim-to-real transfer now with K-Sim

K-Sim is an open-source library for GPU-accelerated robot learning and sim-to-real transfer, made for RL whole-body control from simple walking to complex human imitation.

Get started in <5 minutes

Join the challenge

We're building a leaderboard for anyone interested in rapidly moving from programming and training humanoid robots in simulation to seeing their ideas on real machines, the next day.

All submissions that pass our sim-to-sim evaluation will earn a spot on the leaderboard. We deeply appreciate your contributions in helping us advance our mission.

More in-depth evaluation criteria will be released soon.

Our competition will feature exciting prizes—ranging from fun company-branded merch to free access to the full-size K-Bot robot! Stay tuned for more details.

Challenges

We're planning to announce bi-weekly challenges in the future. Every week, we will deploy top policies on the real robot, which we'll livestream.

Basic Walk

Train an omnidirectional walking policy with velocity > 1m/s

Example simulation of basic walk

Uneven Terrain

Survive walking across 100m Perlin hills and stairs

Example simulation of locomotion on uneven terrain

Push Recovery

Keep torso upright after random shoves of at least 50 Newtons

Example simulation of push recovery

Human Motion Imitation

Track a 30-sec motion capture clip of human dancing and walking

Example simulation of human motion captured walking

Leaderboard coming soon. Star our repo for updates.
