OIL: An Object Interaction Layer for Humanoid Whole-Body Control

Pranay Dugar, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde, Rajesh Mangannavar +2

Recent progress in learned whole-body controllers for humanoid robots has enabled robust free-space motion by tracking kinematic targets such as joint or end-effector trajectories.…

Learning Multi-Humanoid Pickup and Transport via Decentralized Object-Centric Control

Bikram Pandit, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde, Aayam Kumar Shrestha +1

We study cooperative multi-humanoid pickup and transport of objects with varying size, weight, and geometry, requiring robot teams of different sizes. Our approach uses decentraliz…

Collision-Aware Humanoid Whole-Body Control under Imperfect Tracking Targets

Mohitvishnu S. Gadde, Ashish Malik, Pranay Dugar +3

Humanoid robots often execute motion commands through whole-body controllers (WBCs) that track targets while maintaining balance and stability. However, most WBCs are blind to scen…

No More Marching: Learning Humanoid Locomotion for Short-Range SE(2) Targets

Pranay Dugar, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde, Jonah Siekmann +3

Humanoids operating in real-world workspaces must frequently execute task-driven, short-range movements to SE(2) target poses. To be practical, these transitions must be fast, robu…

Learning Dynamic Bipedal Walking Across Stepping Stones

Helei Duan, Ashish Malik, Mohitvishnu S. Gadde +3

In this work, we propose a learning approach for 3D dynamic bipedal walking when footsteps are constrained to stepping stones. While recent work has shown progress on this problem,…
