 ## Overview
 
 **Reinforcement Learning for Interlimb Coordination (ReLIC)** is an approach that enables versatile loco-manipulation through flexible interlimb coordination. The core of our method is a single, adaptive controller that learns to seamlessly coordinate all of a robot's limbs. It intelligently bridges the execution of precise manipulation motions with the generation of stable, dynamic gaits, allowing the robot to interact with its environment in a versatile and robust manner.
