AI Learns to Use Stairs (deep reinforcement learning)

[@aiwarehouse]

Everyone seemed to really love the video of Albert learning to walk, so I thought I would make a video improving that walk! In this video Albert starts with the brain he developed in the walking video, and he uses that knowledge to learn how to climb up and down stairs, walk on uneven terrain, drop off ledges and even climb up a backwards escalator! Albert is getting better and better:D If you’re interested in learning more about exactly how Albert works, I’ll do my best to explain it here in a simple (but correct) way, but this explanation is nothing compared to what you would learn going through the “Introduction to Neural Networks” course on Brilliant. Despite them sponsoring the video, they’re not paying me to write this comment, I’m writing this because the course is genuinely the best introduction to neural networks (like Albert) I’ve seen, and access to all their courses is completely free for 30-days if you use my link Brilliant.org/AIWarehouse to sign up for a free trial. The 30-day free trial would give you plenty of time to get through the relevant courses “Introduction to Neural Networks”, “Reinforcement Learning” and “Artificial Neural Networks” completely for free:) It's also a great way to support the channel, as you know it takes months to make these videos, and just starting a free trial using Brilliant.org/AIWarehouse would help me out so much! Anyway, onto how Albert works! If you're interested in training your own AI like Albert but don't know how, there's now a really easy way to do it! Luda, an AI lab, recently built a web app that allows you to create and train your own AI using deep reinforcement learning (just like Albert) completely for free in your browser! You build your own character (called a Mel) with lego-like building blocks then watch it train in real-time on their website in just a few minutes (really). It's an awesome project, and just like my videos, makes deep reinforcement learning so much more accessible, which is why I love it so much. This section of the comment is sponsored by Luda, but these words are entirely my own, it's an amazing project that I would have been obsessed with had they released it before I built Albert. I've genuinely been looking for a sandbox/game exactly like this since I was a kid. They're still early, but they're giving my audience first access to their closed dev build. Make sure you check out their site and create an AI agent for yourself!:D prealpha.mels.ai NOTE: It may look like there’s only one Albert training, but there are actually an additional 280 Alberts training simultaneously behind the camera to speed up the training time (and also reduce the amount of footage we need to sift through). HOW THE BRAIN WORKS I’ve explained this in previous videos, but Albert is controlled by an artificial brain called a neural network. His brain has 5 layers, the first layer consists of the inputs (the information Albert is given before taking action, like his limb positions and velocities), the last layer tells him what actions to take and the middle 3 layers, called hidden layers, are where the calculations are performed to convert the inputs into actions. Albert starts off using his brain we trained in the walking video, and we use reinforcement learning to further train his brain for this new task of climbing stairs. The only things that matter when it comes to deep reinforcement learning (reinforcement learning with a multi-layered neural network) are figuring out what information to give the agent (the observations/inputs), and when and how much to reward and punish it (the reward function). Almost all of Albert’s inputs are exactly the same as the inputs we gave him for the walking video (like the position, rotation, velocity, angular velocity, strength and contacts for each limb, plus some sensor observations), in this video however, we also have a sensor sticking out in front of each foot which tells Albert the distance between his feet and the stair in front of him, if there is one. These sensors are the only way Albert can ‘see’, and they only detect stairs, so Albert is essentially blind! Just like in the last videos, Albert was trained using reinforcement learning. For each of Albert's attempts, we calculate a score for how 'good' he performed and use an algorithm called proximal policy optimization (PPO) to make small, calculated adjustments to his brain to try to encourage the behaviors that led to a higher score and avoid those that led to a lower score. You can think of increasing Albert’s score as rewarding him and decreasing his score as punishing him, or you can think about it like natural selection where the best-performing Alberts are most likely to reproduce, so the genes that lead to better behavior will get more prevalent with each generation. As long as the reward function (how we reward/punish Albert) is set up robustly, these small adjustments to Albert’s brain over (sometimes) hundreds of millions of attempts leads to Albert getting very good at completing the goal defined by the reward function (climbing up and down stairs). REWARD FUNCTION Climbing up and down stairs is very comparable to walking so most of the heavy lifting for the reward function was done in the video where Albert learns to walk. In that video, I had to deduce exactly how and when to reward/punish Albert to get him to take steps, so for this video, I used that same reward function to encourage Albert to continue taking steps, just with one additional punishment; punishing Albert when he stands too still. I’ll get into why I had to add this reward in a couple of paragraphs. The reason we have levels for Albert that increase in difficulty is because if we were to throw Albert onto the escalator with only his knowledge of walking, he would have no hope of coming even close to getting through the course since he would need to learn many very complex motions to make even a little bit of progress. Also, I just made a community discord server! If you want more updates on Albert and learn more about exactly how he works (and just talk AI in general), make sure to join! discord.gg/jM2WkNuBnG :) The first level is as simple as we can make it; just a few single steps. These steps are designed specifically to make Albert trip, that way he’ll eventually learn to associate detecting the step with a new environment that needs a different behavior. Albert (and reinforcement learning agents in general) tend to learn to do whatever is easiest while still improving their scores. In this case, Albert originally realized it’s easy to just stop walking and stand still when he detects a stair, and when he does that he no longer trips and falls over the stairs, so just standing still is the easiest way for him to get a higher score. That’s why we added the additional punishment for standing still, we pushed him so he stops getting stuck in that local maximum reward. After doing that he was much more willing to try to step over the stairs and sure enough, after a bit of time, was able to do it consistently. OBSERVATIONS As mentioned above, we give Albert the same information we gave him in the walking video (limb positions, rotations, velocities etc.), except this time we give him 2 additional observations in the form of sensors coming out of his feet to detect stairs in front of him. Giving him these 2 new observations means I had to retrain Albert’s walking from scratch with 2 additional null inputs, then continue the training on this new brain, since otherwise there wouldn’t be any room on the input layer to give him the sensor data. Thankfully, since the walking behavior had a very carefully modeled reward function and I didn't need to record the training, it didn't take long for my computer to train it again from scratch (about 45 minutes). Adding new observations to this stair-climbing brain would be much more laborious since I would need to train each room at a time. While the walking AI didn’t actually need all the rooms to train properly, this one did. FINAL CHALLENGE The final room was very hard for Albert and unfortunately I ran into a big issue I didn't anticipate. I realized too late that since Albert is only given the distance to the ground under his feet and the distance from his feet to the stairs in front of him (if there are any), he isn't able to differentiate normal stairs and the escalator, but the motion required is very different, so it makes it impossible for him to only use one brain. I didn't plan on making him go up an escalator, that was an idea I had later on in the development, and because of that, in the final run he actually uses 2 different brains, he uses his main stair brain until he hits the escalator, then uses the escalator brain, then when he reaches the top of the escalator, I swapped it back to his main brain. There is definitely a way to have one brain work for the entirety of the final room, all that's needed is to give him an extra observation of whether or not the stair in front of him is moving, that would have trained the escalator behaviour into the main brain, unfortunately I just didn't have time to re-train everything to make this work, since it already took 3 months to make the video lol.

[@beepboprobotsnot3748]

I'm fascinated by the learned helplessness that Albert displays. In the previous video, when Albert fell, he'd start flailing around, trying to get back up. But now, he just freezes up entirely, because, after 1000s of runs, he's learned that there's nothing he can do to recover. At this point, even if you altered how his joints work to give him a way to stand back up, I doubt he'd be able to figure it out. He just wouldn't try.

I'm really impressed with the fact that I could *see* the different ways he was walking. First, on the uneven terrain, I noticed his steps getting much more forceful. Then, on the escalator, his steps got a lot faster! It shows how he can tell what kind of terrain he's working with, and how to best tackle each of then.

[@Kram1032]

First of all, that's one of the best sponsor message integrations I've seen: Just keep going with the content that just so happens to take place in the message Second, Albert is getting really good these days! Albert is walking really nicely in this one by the end. Still hoping to see some of the suggestions I've given in the past, like slippery floors. I think walking downstairs is generally harder than walking upstairs, so a downwards backwards escalator would also be a great addition. And slopes. Some randomization would also be good: It looks like Albert learned a more or less specific path over the rough terrain, rather than learning to deal with any rough terrain in general. So randomizing that terrain each time would presumably make him far more robust with that

[@aquaphoenix-mt2iv]

I find the fact that he learned to backflip, almost as a self-destructive stress response very interesting. The same way one might get anxious and revert to old habits that are bad for them. Because once he's in a bad enough position, he reverts to backflipping to minimize the pain, because a long time ago it helped him get hurt less a few times, and occasionally is does reduce the pain. Even though he could be learning to recover from those bad positions, and statistically the backflips are overall reducing a success rate compared to if he didnt, since a backflip never caused success. Alberts backflips are essentially a trauma response to his early struggles, and can actually be a good dumbed-down way of explaining "illogical" (usually trauma enforced) behavior to people who dont entirely understand psychology.

[@unknowed5048]

Man I wanna learn how to do a backflip to deal with my stress.

[@WumpusAlpaca]

I have been doing some research on reinforcement learning models for my AI classes and this video is a great excuse for me to enjoy the shenanighans of Albert in the name of research. I love AI warehouse ❤❤.

i still remember when little albert doed the worm break dance step, trying to walk... now hes chosing his hobbies... they grow so fast 🥰

I can't explain it, but I am unbelievably proud of Albert rn

[@ccossmin]

Really enjoy watching Albert learn

[@aiwarehouse]

Thank you so much!!:D

[@QuirkyView]

It would be interesting if the punishment for falling were based on how much a human would feel from a fall, like the speed of impact and such, so he learns to catch himself when he falls

[@Twi_543]

Yep good idea

[@Pingviinimursu]

I believe velocity and point of contact with a "damage mapping" based on where he hits himself would be enough to learn it. More damage from head, less from feet, etc. To make it even more accurate, the mapping could be a function of both velocity and point of contact, since at some speeds it's ok to catch yourself with your palms or even forehead, but not at higher speeds 🤔

I KNEW IT! This series had potential for some secrets and the binary on the wall in level 2 was perfect! I didn’t even catch it until watching it back a second time. Plus the ending was great too!

[@Kappq]

Your channel destined for success. The video quality, Albert's engaging journey, clever easter eggs, entertaining music, and polished editing are the reason why I'm able to sit through a 10 minute video of an AI walking. Not to mention the brilliant (I'm sorry) sponsor placement. Kudos on the great work - keep it up!

[@La_Jupo_REAL]

Ok I can't get over how frantic and excited it looked like he got at 7:00 lol

[@cryozen2467]

I love how after a certain point, every time Albert almost fell backwards, he tried to do a backflip. I guess he learned that if you're going down, you gotta go down in style! ✨
