Menlo Research's Asimov project has open-sourced the locomotion training code for its Asimov 1 humanoid, releasing an Isaac Lab-based framework with PPO and AMP configurations, reward definitions, actuator settings, and simulated variations for domain randomization. Although the announcement references an included trained policy checkpoint, Humanoids Daily's review of the linked GitHub repository and its releases did not find a downloadable checkpoint. The release complements Asimov's prior open-source CAD/simulation files and DIY kit shipments, giving developers a starting point to retrain locomotion policies for modified hardware builds.
