NVIDIA Compass: Cross-Embodiment Robot Navigation Policy
NVIDIA just dropped a new tutorial on COMPASS, an agent-assisted residual reinforcement learning framework designed to adapt pretrained X-Mobility locomotion policies to different robotic platforms (such as Boston Dynamics' Spot). It offers developers a powerful methodology to reuse general navigation and locomotion skills across varied physical platforms, vastly reducing the time and cost required to train new hardware embodiments from scratch.
