Walking Minotaur robot
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 the country recorded as United States of America, during June 2019. It comes out of an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.
It works in the domain of Robotics, and is recorded as performing the task of 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: sOTA improvement.
Answers
Walking Minotaur robot — common questions
Walking Minotaur robot— who created it?
It was published by University of California (UC) Berkeley,Google Brain, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as academia,Industry.
Walking Minotaur robot— when was it released?
It 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.
Walking Minotaur robot— what is it used for?
It works in the domain of Robotics, and is recorded as handling the task of 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.
Walking Minotaur robot— what GPU do I need to run it?
None. This 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.
Walking Minotaur robot— is it open source?
No. Its weights have not been published, so it exists only as a service controlled by its owner.
Walking Minotaur robot— how many parameters does it have?
No parameter count has been published for it, 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.
