Walking Minotaur robot

Closed weights University of California (UC) Berkeley,Google Brain June 2019

No estimate

No hardware requirements for this model

The weights for this model have not been published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any size. It is reachable only through its provider, and no graphics card changes that.

On record

Full specification

Everything on record for this model. Most of it describes how it was trained rather than how it runs — useful context for judging how much work went into it, and how it compares with models built at a different scale.

What the numbers mean

About this model

Walking Minotaur robot was published by University of California (UC) Berkeley,Google Brain, in United States of America, in June 2019. It comes out of academia,Industry.

It works in Robotics, and is recorded as doing animal (human/non-human) imitation.

This is a closed model: the trained values stayed with whoever produced them, and there is no local version to run.

How it was trained

The reason it appears in this catalogue at all is sOTA improvement.

Answers

Walking Minotaur robot — common questions

01

Who created Walking Minotaur robot?

Walking Minotaur robot was published by University of California (UC) Berkeley,Google Brain, based in United States of America, categorised as academia,Industry.

02

When was Walking Minotaur robot released?

Walking Minotaur robot was published in June 2019. Capability per parameter has improved considerably since, so a newer model of the same size is often the better use of the same hardware.

03

What is Walking Minotaur robot used for?

Walking Minotaur robot works in Robotics, and is recorded as handling animal (human/non-human) imitation. A model can carry several of each, so these are the areas it was built for rather than a limit on what it will attempt.

04

What GPU do I need to run Walking Minotaur robot?

None. Walking Minotaur robot is a closed model — its weights were never published, so it cannot be downloaded or run on your own hardware at any price. It is reachable only through its provider.

05

Is Walking Minotaur robot open source?

No. Walking Minotaur robot has not had its weights published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.

06

How many parameters does Walking Minotaur robot have?

No parameter count has been published for Walking Minotaur robot, which is why no memory or speed figure appears on this page.

The other direction

Looking at it from the other side?

This page starts from the model. If you already own a card and want to know everything it will run, start from the hardware instead.
