Comparing Utility of Inertial, Occupancy, Semantic, and Intent Information in Human Motion Prediction During Daily Tasks
Max Burns, Maisha Khanum, Monroe Kennedy +1
Accurate human motion prediction is crucial for robotic systems operating around people, particularly in complex indoor spaces. In this study, we assess the relative importance of…
Learning Humanoid Navigation from Human Data
Weizhuo Wang, Yanjie Ze, C. Karen Liu +1
We present EgoNav, a system that enables a humanoid robot to traverse diverse, unseen environments by learning entirely from 5 hours of human walking data, with no robot data or fi…
Sparse Autoencoders Reveal Interpretable and Steerable Features in VLA Models
Aiden Swann, Lachlain McGranahan, Hugo Buurmeijer +2
Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models have emerged as a promising approach for general-purpose robot manipulation. However, little research has mechanistically explored when and why…
Locomotion Beyond Feet
Tae Hoon Yang, Haochen Shi, Jiacheng Hu +10
Most locomotion methods for humanoid robots focus on leg-based gaits, yet natural bipeds frequently rely on hands, knees, and elbows to establish additional contacts for stability…
