Video Friday: Digit Redecorates
IEEE Spectrum’s Video Friday highlights a set of robotics demos and upcoming conferences. The excerpt spotlights a hierarchical reinforcement-learning method called ReST-RL that decouples locomotion from payload stabilization and reports successful zero-shot sim‑to‑real deployment on Unitree G1 humanoid hardware; it also points to demos from Agility (a notable couch-drag clip) and mentions upcoming events in Seoul, Pittsburgh, and Austin.
