Researchers have developed a new method for robot design that uses value gradients to optimize embodiments. This approach trains a single, embodiment-aware policy and value function across numerous robot designs. The trained value function then acts as a differentiable surrogate, allowing for efficient optimization of candidate embodiments and identification of performance-limiting parameters in both design and control. AI
