+
+This submodule contains the domains and tasks described in the
+[DeepMind Control Suite tech report](https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.00690).
+
+## Quickstart
+
+```python
+from dm_control import suite
+import numpy as np
+
+# Load one task:
+env = suite.load(domain_name="cartpole", task_name="swingup")
+
+# Iterate over a task set:
+for domain_name, task_name in suite.BENCHMARKING:
+  env = suite.load(domain_name, task_name)
+
+# Step through an episode and print out reward, discount and observation.
+action_spec = env.action_spec()
+time_step = env.reset()
+while not time_step.last():
+  action = np.random.uniform(action_spec.minimum,
+                             action_spec.maximum,
+                             size=action_spec.shape)
+  time_step = env.step(action)
+  print(time_step.reward, time_step.discount, time_step.observation)
+```
+
+## Illustration video
+
+Below is a video montage of solved Control Suite tasks, with reward
+visualisation enabled.

+
+### Quadruped domain [April 2019]
+
+Roughly based on the 'ant' model introduced by [Schulman et al. 2015](https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.02438). Main modifications to the body are:
+
+- 4 DoFs per leg, 1 constraining tendon.
+- 3 actuators per leg: 'yaw', 'lift', 'extend'.
+- Filtered position actuators with timescale of 100ms.
+- Sensors include an IMU, force/torque sensors, and rangefinders.
+
+Four tasks:
+
+- `walk` and `run`: self-right the body then move forward at a desired speed.
+- `escape`: escape a bowl-shaped random terrain (uses rangefinders).
+- `fetch`, go to a moving ball and bring it to a target.
+
+All behaviors in the video below were trained with [Abdolmaleki et al's
+MPO](https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.06920).
