Humanoid Dodgeball: Learning Fast Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance Motions for Humanoids
Aoqian Zhang, Chunzheng Wang, Haoran Chen +4
Humanoids have become increasingly agile and capable in real-world environments. To operate safely in dynamic scenarios, they must rapidly evade fast-moving obstacles while maintai…
E2DRL: End-to-End Differentiable Reinforcement Learning for 3D Obstacle Avoidance in Quadruped Robots
Cheng Fan, Bingyang Zhou, Gang Yang +7
Differentiable reinforcement learning shows strong promise for robot policy learning, but its application to legged locomotion has remained limited to blind walking or simulated 2D…
Soft Responsive Materials Enhance Humanoid Safety
Chunzheng Wang, Yiyuan Zhang, Annan Tang +12
Humanoid robots are envisioned as general-purpose platforms in human-centered environments, yet their deployment is limited by vulnerability to falls and the risks posed by rigid m…
SAC-Loco: Safe and Adjustable Compliant Quadrupedal Locomotion
Aoqian Zhang, Zixuan Zhuang, Chunzheng Wang +3
Quadruped robots are designed to achieve agile and robust locomotion by drawing inspiration from legged animals. However, most existing control methods for quadruped robots lack a…
