LEAP Lab: Robot Dog Demo

  • MIT Welcome Center 292 Main Street Cambridge, MA 02142 (map)

Registration recommended! You’ll be the first to learn of event details or if the location or date changes due to inclement weather. Attendance is first come first served, regardless of registration.

Meet a robotic dog with our friends from the NSF Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI).

IAIFI Fellow Ge Yang and MIT undergraduate Alan Yu demonstrate how they have taught their robotic dog to run using reinforcement learning, which trains in a simulated environment through trial and error without explicit instructions for how to do so.

  • L.E.A.P. stands for Learn, Explore, and Play! These programs are geared towards kids and families.

  • All minors must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Responsible adults, please keep a close eye on your kids.
