Zero teleoperation. Zero real-world data. ➔ Autonomous humanoid loco-manipulation in reality. Introducing VIRAL: Visual Sim-to-Real at Scale. We achieved 54 autonomous cycles (walk, stand, place, pick, turn) using a simple recipe: 1. RL 2. Simulation 3. GPUs Website: https://t.co/tmkKpWsqqW Arxiv: https://t.co/PKIfxToUGw Deep dive with me: 🧵
