  • Patent number: 12172309
    Abstract: Training and/or using a machine learning model for locomotion control of a robot, where the model is decoupled. In many implementations, the model is decoupled into an open loop component and a feedback component, where a user can provide a desired reference trajectory (e.g., a symmetric sine curve) as input for the open loop component. In additional and/or alternative implementations, the model is decoupled into a pattern generator component and a feedback component, where a user can provide controlled parameter(s) as input for the pattern generator component to generate pattern generator phase data (e.g., an asymmetric sine curve). The neural network model can be used to generate robot control parameters.
