Robots are getting more agile al the time. They are still going to need control policies to perform extreme motions. OmniXtreme is a general policy that enables robots to perform a diverse set of motions, including consecutive flips. As the researchers explain:
This capability is achieved by pre-training a flow-based generative control policy and then post-training with actuation-aware residual RL for complex physical dynamics—a step we found critical for successful real-world transfer.
You might have seen the WuBOT performing at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala; however, most high-dynamic extreme motions you see are executed by overfitted tracking policies. Until now, training a unified policy capable of performing various extreme motions with a high success rate… pic.twitter.com/BToZ29rD33

With something like this, it is possible to have robots that can act like a gymnast. The above video shows them in action.
