Training another musculoskeletal system @xiaotiansu.bsky.social for tennis, after having trained other musculoskeletal systems for soccer and pingpong. With cognitive function, reward learning, and some sort of teacher distillation, this system learns a quite robust forehand within 36,000 steps👍

Something exciting just left the gym -- meet Arnold the first generalist musculoskeletal control policy! The human body has 600+ muscles, yet we seamlessly coordinate them for everything from whispering a syllable to felling a forrest. How? www.arxiv.org/abs/2508.18066

Interesting study, do check this out 💪

Another interesting project I worked on at @icepfl.bsky.social Kudos to @sjaved.bsky.social and all the co-authors! The findings in MQAT highlight the potential of exploiting modularity in neural networks for efficient and performant compression/adaptation. Check out the #TMLR paper for details!

💭When reading continual learning literature, there's always the term 'catastrophic forgetting' being discussed as a major challenge. But looking at some efficient learning systems (e.g. biological-based ones), it's hard to not notice forgetting isn't necessarily a bug - it's sometimes a merit. [1/4]
