Bayesian Optimization Using Domain Knowledge on the ATRIAS Biped
, 2017 Controllers in robotics often consist of expert-designed heuristics, which can be hard to tune in higher dimensions. It is typical to use simulation to learn these parameters, but controllers learned in simulation often don't transfer to hardware.

Learning and Transfer of Modulated Locomotor Controllers [PDF]
, 2016 We study a novel architecture and training procedure for locomotion tasks. A high-frequency, low-level "spinal" network with access to proprioceptive sensors learns sensorimotor primitives by training on simple tasks. This pre-trained module is fixed and
