Clearly needs some energy constraint factored in to look less like monty python :) I also wonder if the gravity is realistic.

Looks much smoother, because of muscle and nerve simulations. At 0:55 you can see the generations learning how to walk.
If anyone is interested in learning more how reinforcement learning works, I would highly recommend openai gym [0]. It provides a controlled environment where you can develop learning algorithms to accomplish an objective goal. It also has a walkers similar to the one in the video [1]. For learning more about reinforcement learning, I would recommend Richard S. Sutton book Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction. He has a new draft available free online [2]. Or the course Practical RL [3].
