🦿 Training Locomotion Policies with RL#

Posted by in categories: policy, robotics/AI

Genesis supports parallel simulation, making it ideal for training reinforcement learning (RL) locomotion policies efficiently. In this tutorial, we will walk you through a complete training example for obtaining a basic locomotion policy that enables a Unitree Go2 Robot to walk. With Genesis, you will be able to train a locomotion policy that’s deployable in real-world in less than 26 seconds (benchmarked on a RTX 4090).

Acknowledgement: This tutorial is inspired by and builds several core concepts from Legged Gym.

How Medical Device Cybersecurity Evolved From Idea To Industry Imperative

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, cybercrime/malcode, food, policy

Mike has over 15 years of experience in healthcare, including extensive experience designing and developing medical devices. MedCrypt, Inc.

On October 1, 2024, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) marked a major milestone in medical device cybersecurity enforcement. This marks one year since the retracted Refuse to Accept (RTA) policy and the full implementation of the Protecting and Transforming Cyber Healthcare (PATCH) Act amendment to the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C). The FDA’s new requirements represent a fundamental shift in the regulatory landscape for medical device manufacturers (MDMs), as cybersecurity is now a non-negotiable element of device development and compliance.

The timing is not coincidental. In 2023, the FDA issued its final guidance entitled “Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions.” This outlined the detailed cybersecurity requirements and considerations that MDMs must address in their submissions, highlighting the security measures in place to gain regulatory approval. With these requirements, the FDA is taking a hard stance: Cybersecurity is a core consideration, with compliance being systematically enforced.

AI can now create a replica of your personality

Posted by in categories: policy, robotics/AI

Imagine sitting down with an AI model for a spoken two-hour interview. A friendly voice guides you through a conversation that ranges from your childhood, your formative memories, and your career to your thoughts on immigration policy. Not long after, a virtual replica of you is able to embody your values and preferences with stunning accuracy.

That’s now possible, according to a new paper from a team including researchers from Stanford and Google DeepMind, which has been published on arXiv and has not yet been peer-reviewed.

California’s Salton Sea receding at greater rate according to balloon mapping study

Posted by in categories: food, mapping, policy

The Salton Sea, California’s largest lake by surface area, is experiencing an increasing rate of shoreline retreat following a policy change that shifted more water from the Colorado River to San Diego, according to a newly published study. The resulting dried lakebed is creating more polluted dust from dried agricultural runoff that affects nearby communities, researchers said.
