Olaf: Bringing an Animated Character to Life in the Physical World
SessionReal-Time Live!
DescriptionWe brought the animated character Olaf to life in the physical world using reinforcement learning and innovative custom hardware. To mirror the animation, we utilized novel rewards to reduce impact noises and prevent actuator overheating. The result is a physically robust robot that authentically captures the character’s stylized motion.
