Howdy, i'm Alec 👋 I'm a researcher focused on humanoid agility and control. I use reinforcement learning to make physics-based characters run, climb, vault, slide, recover, handle objects, and more. It is my goal to make embodied intelligence easier to direct, whether that be for humanoid robots or digital characters. I'm also a co-author of Metatron, a research collaboration with NVIDIA exploring how motion goals can guide whole-body movement.
research.nvidia.com/labs/par… This reel brings together some of what I've been working on over the last year. I post here daily, sharing my progress, my failures, and what I learn along the way. If you're working on humanoid robots, animation, or games, feel free to say hi!
