Biomechanics experts sought for machine learning challenge to simulate gait

Round One Entries Due: October 13, 2019

Seungmoon Song and Łukasz Kidziński, postdoctoral fellows at Stanford University, are organizing a scientific challenge to develop a controller that enables a 3D human model to walk. Based on the OpenSim platform, this challenge is one of the official competitions at Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) 2019. Details on how to participate, including information on free resources to get started, are available at the NeurIPS 2019: Learn to Move Challenge website. You can learn more about reinforcement learning and the challenge in our past webinar, Robust Control Strategies for Musculoskeletal Models Using Deep Reinforcement Learning.
