Title: Shape Your Body: Value Gradients for Multi-Embodiment Robot Design
Abstract:
arXiv:2606.00702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose to turn generalist multi-embodiment value functions into reusable models for robot design. Instead of running a new reinforcement learning co-design loop for each robot, we first train an embodiment-aware policy and value function across many robot designs. After training, the frozen value function is used as a differentiable surrogate to optimize candidate embodiments through value gradients. We evaluate our approach across different
