Show HN: Train and deploy your own open-source humanoid in Python
Hi HN, I’m Ben, founder of K-Scale Labs (YC W24). Last year, I wanted to buy a humanoid robot that I could hack on, but the few options for sale were either too expensive, proprietary, or had a limited SDK. We set out to build an affordable humanoid robot using off-the-shelf components that can be built and shipped today, capable of running modern machine learning models, and make it completely open-source for developers like me. Today, we’re releasing our reinforcement learning library and sim2real pipeline for people who want to train policies for humanoid robots. If you have a computer, you can try out this pipeline in less than 5 minutes: https://github.com/kscalelabs/ksim-gym . Or try on Colab: https://colab.research.google.com/github/kscalelabs/ksim-gym... Getting started is as easy as: git clone https://github.com/kscalel
