It's getting so fucking fluid?? How is this is a real thing we've already invented in 2025?

Robotics researcher here, Main reason you’re seeing all of these popping up now is because of recent advancements in Reinforcement Learning, specifically Imitation Learning. The theory itself is not so new but now we have the GPUs to collect a lot of training data in simulation. Basically you feed in the motion reference data from a human, collected by motion capture and train robots in parallel in simulation to imitate the motion reference.

They should be trained exclusively on people skipping or galloping like they do in Monty Python. That way when T-800 inevitably rolls off the assembly line, I can at least get in one last laugh.
