Simulated Dackflip (IMAGE) University of California - Berkeley Caption UC Berkeley computer scientists developed an algorithm that uses reinforcement learning to generate realistic simulations of human and animal motion, such as this real-time backflip. The same algorithm works for 25 acrobatic and dance tricks, with one month of learning required per skill.
