Mentava Reading vs FrankenRobots

Mentava is now available as an iPad app! Contact your teacher for login instructions. Mentava guides students step-by-step along the entire reading journey from zero to independent reading. It's designed from the ground up to help students become self-sufficient, independent learners.

Study two demanding robot-control problems from inside the optimization loop. FrankenRobots focuses on a Unitree G1 humanoid and a household robot arm. Both experiences bundle their simulation assets and numerical engine with the app, so the lab works without an account or remote service. In the humanoid lab, inspect a high-dimensional policy, change terrain and disturbances, watch recovery behavior, and follow how CMA-ES searches a 5,040-parameter space. Curriculum controls expose how the task changes as balance, locomotion, and robustness are combined. In the arm lab, work with a compact 128-parameter policy across household manipulation tasks. Change the target and objective, inspect trajectories, and compare candidate behavior during the search. FrankenRobots is a simulation and education tool. It does not connect to, command, or make safety claims about physical robots. All simulation state stays on the device.
