A model-free method to learn multiple skills in parallel on modular robots by Fuda van Diggelen, Nicolas Cambier, Eliseo Ferrante, A. E. Eiben

“…Abstract Legged robots are well-suited for deployment in unstructured environments but require a unique control scheme specific for their design. As controllers optimised in simulation do not transfer well to the real world (the infamous sim-to-real gap), methods enabling quick learning in the real world, without any assumptions on the specific robot model and its dynamics, are necessary. …”
