Learning Sim-to-Real Robot Parkour from RGB Images
… environments, specifically focusing on extreme parkour terrain. While RGB data offers a deeper understanding of the scene through semantic cues, it presents challenges in sim-to-real transfer due to large domain gaps. This work proposes a novel approach for training an RGB parkour policy and …

A Model-Based Planning and Control Framework for Parkour-Style Legged Locomotion
… This thesis presents a model-based framework for parkour-style locomotion, enabling robots to execute highly dynamic maneuvers such as jumps, rolls, and flips with precision and robustness. A key challenge in planning these motions is selecting an appropriate dynamic model that balances …

An exploration of a traceur's experience of lack of progression in parkour: a grounded theory study
Parkour is an exciting, complex and at times risky art form in the sporting world. Officially incorporated as a sport in the UK in 2017 (Parkour UK, 2019) but born in France almost 30 years ago (Belle, 2009). Parkour consists of practitioners finding a route through predominantly urban terrain, …

Sample-Efficient Deep Reinforcement Learning for Continuous Control
… inputs, to mastering the game of Go, to learning parkour movements by simulated humanoids. However, the common RL approaches are known to be sample intensive, making them difficult to be applied to real-world problems such as robotics. This thesis makes several contributions toward developing RL …

Leveraging the Human-Animal Bond for care access in the unhoused population: A One Health Study
… housed. No significant changes were found in Dog Parkour Training Study data. These findings support that there is a relationship between human mental health, companion animals and housing status in the unhoused population. Additional research is needed to further investigate the direction of …

The performative experiment : a polylogue to practice the malleability of an aesthetic and spatial sense of self
… estranging one from canons and rote moves. Like parkour for imagination, displacing the center of thought from the mind into the surroundings that are appropriated as an extension of self, performative experiments arrest the spatial and aesthetic aptitudes growing out of a malleable sense of …

Behavioural and neural studies of male singing and female phonotaxis behaviour in crickets
… the females have to navigate through a complex parkour to reach the acoustic stimulus presenting speaker. I tested the system with different selecting experiments and proved the system can be applied to select females attracted to certain song pattern. Overall, these findings broaden our …
