Chinese robotics technology firm LimX Dynamics' Biped Robot P1's latest demonstration test shows the machine's ability to respond remarkably well when threatened by a human and traverse complex terrain. The robot uses reinforcement learning to respond to outside stimuli such as moving objects or bumps on a path, according to the firm. Reinforcement learning is a subset of a set of techniques that are used to train artificial intelligence algorithms, and the latest news about the firm, also called Zhuji Dynamics, builds up on its steady development of robotic technologies.
LimX Dynamics' Biped P1 Robot Successfully Navigates Mountainous Forest Terrain Via Reinforcement Learning
LimX is a robotics company with a humanoid robot, a quadrupled robot and the biped P1 in its product portfolio. The latest test run for the P1 platform saw the firm place the P1 in the Tanglang Mountain in Shanghai, China. The purpose of the test was to test the platform in an unpredictable environment characterized by rough terrain that required the P1 to be continually aware of its surroundings and incorporate the data back into its responses through reinforcement learning.

LimX shared details of the test in a Medium post. According to the firm, one of the most complex aspects of the test was that, unlike urban environments, the mountains do not have uniform steps or ground level. The P1's test marked a third test for the firm's full product portfolio, with earlier tests involving humanoid and quadrupled robots. The latter took place in October last year, and it saw the quadrupled X1 slowly make its way around a steel factory in South China.
As it did for its previous tests, the firm also shared a video of the P1's trekking trip. The test showed the robot
