Reinforcement Learning for Quadruped Walking
Training a four-legged robot to walk smoothly across different terrain in simulation, then deploying the learned controller on a real Unitree Go1.
Anh Duc Tran
Senior Robotics Engineer @ VinMotion
I build robots and learning-based systems.
My work spans robot learning, locomotion, embedded systems, and hardware — especially systems that have to work on real robots.
Selected work
All projects →Project →
ForteGrip
A compact robotic gripper designed to handle both fragile and heavy objects while remaining highly backdrivable.
Project →
Teensy–Robstride Bridge
A hardware and software bridge that lets a PC reliably control multiple robot motors over Ethernet.
Project →My projects have increasingly pulled me toward two questions:
- 01
How can robots stay safe when things go wrong?
- 02
How should robots be designed if learning from them is part of the goal?
