Learning Asynchronous Upper-body Task-space Trajectory Tracking Policy for Humanoid Robots
Yumeng Liu, Dongqi Wang, Jiyu Yu +3
High-level humanoid planners often output sparse task-space, low-rate trajectories, whereas whole-body controllers run at high frequency. This creates temporal asynchrony between t…
SixthSense: Task-Agnostic Proprioception-Only Whole-Body Wrench Estimation for Humanoids
Xingzhou Chen, Xiayan Xu, Yan Ning +8
Humanoid robots are entering our physical world at scale, yet as oversized toys--good at singing and dancing, but short on force-interaction capabilities for practical tasks. Bridg…
A Whole-Body Motion Imitation Framework from Human Data for Full-Size Humanoid Robot
Zhenghan Chen, Haodong Zhang, Dongqi Wang +4
Motion imitation is a pivotal and effective approach for humanoid robots to achieve a more diverse range of complex and expressive movements, making their performances more human-l…
TOP: Time Optimization Policy for Stable and Accurate Standing Manipulation with Humanoid Robots
Zhenghan Chen, Haocheng Xu, Haodong Zhang +7
Humanoid robots have the potential capability to perform a diverse range of manipulation tasks, but this is based on a robust and precise standing controller. Existing methods are…
Pretraining-finetuning Framework for Efficient Co-design: A Case Study on Quadruped Robot Parkour
Ci Chen, Jiyu Yu, Haojian Lu +3
In nature, animals with exceptional locomotion abilities, such as cougars, often possess asymmetric fore and hind legs. This observation inspired us: could optimizing the leg lengt…
