Train Boston Dynamics Spot with reinforcement learning
Spot from MuJoCo Menagerie. A preview robot on kualia: plan tasks, run the checks and short capped tries; full training needs GPU runs.

Tricks people teach Boston Dynamics Spot
How it works
- Describe the trick in a sentence and pick Boston Dynamics Spot.
- alia, kualia's assistant, writes the Gymnasium task — reward, success, failure and world objects — and runs 13 automatic checks.
- Train with PPO on kualia's servers and watch every checkpoint replayed in 3D in your browser.
- Export a deterministic ONNX policy and run it on the robot with onnxruntime.
From your coding agent
Working in Claude Code, Cursor or Codex? Connect kualia as an MCP server with a personal API key (Settings → API keys), then ask: “Train my Boston Dynamics Spot to walk forward with kualia.”

Questions
Can I train Boston Dynamics Spot without writing code?
Yes. Pick Boston Dynamics Spot in kualia, describe the trick in a sentence, and kualia's assistant writes the Gymnasium task (reward, success, failure and any world objects), runs 13 automatic checks and trains a PPO policy in MuJoCo.
How many training steps does Boston Dynamics Spot need?
Roughly ~3M steps for a first real skill with PPO. Start with a 10,000-step first try to check the task before spending more. Boston Dynamics Spot is a preview robot on kualia: runs are capped at 30,000 steps until GPU training is available.
Can I run the trained policy on the real Boston Dynamics Spot?
kualia exports a deterministic ONNX policy with observation normalisation baked in, plus metadata describing observations and action scaling. You run it with onnxruntime on the robot's computer. Test carefully: simulation and hardware differ.
Can my coding agent use kualia for Boston Dynamics Spot?
Yes. kualia is a remote MCP server at https://kualia.ai/api/mcp. Add it to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex with a personal API key and ask the agent to train Boston Dynamics Spot.
