Scalable Exploration for High-Dimensional Continuous Control via Value-Guided Flow
Yunyue Wei, Chenhui Zuo, Yanan Sui
Controlling high-dimensional systems in biological and robotic applications is challenging due to expansive state-action spaces, where effective exploration is critical. Commonly u…
Embodied Learning of Reward for Musculoskeletal Control with Vision Language Models
Saraswati Soedarmadji, Yunyue Wei, Chen Zhang +2
Discovering effective reward functions remains a fundamental challenge in motor control of high-dimensional musculoskeletal systems. While humans can describe movement goals explic…
Energy-Efficient Omnidirectional Locomotion for Wheeled Quadrupeds via Predictive Energy-Aware Nominal Gait Selection
Xu Yang, Wei Yang, Kaibo He +3
Wheeled-legged robots combine the efficiency of wheels with the versatility of legs, but face significant energy optimization challenges when navigating diverse environments. In th…
Contact-Rich and Deformable Foot Modeling for Locomotion Control of the Human Musculoskeletal System
Haixin Gong, Chen Zhang, Yanan Sui
The human foot serves as the critical interface between the body and environment during locomotion. Existing musculoskeletal models typically oversimplify foot-ground contact mecha…
Bipedal Balance Control with Whole-body Musculoskeletal Standing and Falling Simulations
Chengtian Ma, Yunyue Wei, Chenhui Zuo +2
Balance control is important for human and bipedal robotic systems. While dynamic balance during locomotion has received considerable attention, quantitative understanding of stati…
Human sensory-musculoskeletal modeling and control of whole-body movements
Chenhui Zuo, Guohao Lin, Chen Zhang +2
Coordinated human movement depends on the integration of multisensory inputs, sensorimotor transformation, and motor execution, as well as sensory feedback resulting from body-envi…
