How Does it Work
Below are three challenges where you try your odds against evolution. Each challenge requires you to control a musculoskeletal model by activating muscles to perform a specific task. The goal is to optimize muscle excitations to achieve the best performance in each challenge. Try out different strategies and see how they affect the outcome and compare your result to an evolutionary algorithm. Good luck!
🚀 Squat Jump
Figure out the coordination of leg muscles to achieve maximum vertical jump height from a squat position.
Hint: Timing is key!
⚡ Counter Movement Jump
Now you start from a standing position. Use a counter-movement to put yourself in a squat position before jumping to maximize jump height.
It is harder than expected!
🤸 Backflip
This is the ultimate test of your skills. Can you perform better than evolution in this complex task?
Don't worry evolutinary algorithm also required a lot of hand holding!
