Machine Learning Hopping Robot

This project is about putting a two servo leg on a training carousel, putting a counterweight on it so that it can simulate movement in a low gravity environment, and then letting it learn to hop, crawl, scoot around in a circle. Quite interesting to watch it learn to move - always comes up with a novel way to propel itself.

Very nice build! I’m always impressed of what you accomplish.
Any plans to change the material of the end of the leg to reduce skids?

Hi. Yeah, it does skid on a smooth floor but I normally run it on carpet so that it can get a bite.
