WT-UMI: Tactile-based Whole-Body Manipulation via Force-Supervised Contact-Aware Planning
Jaehwi Jang, Zhaoyuan Gu, Alfred Cueva +15
Whole-body humanoid manipulation of bulky, deformable, and shared-load objects requires distributed contact sensing and explicit force regulation, yet most imitation policies treat…
Opt2Skill: Imitating Dynamically-feasible Whole-Body Trajectories for Versatile Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Fukang Liu, Zhaoyuan Gu, Yilin Cai +8
Humanoid robots are designed to perform diverse loco-manipulation tasks. However, they face challenges due to their high-dimensional and unstable dynamics, as well as the complex c…
SEEC: Stable End-Effector Control with Model-Enhanced Residual Learning for Humanoid Loco-Manipulation
Jaehwi Jang, Zhuoheng Wang, Ziyi Zhou +2
Arm end-effector stabilization is essential for humanoid loco-manipulation tasks, yet it remains challenging due to the high degrees of freedom and inherent dynamic instability of…
Learn to Teach: Sample-Efficient Privileged Learning for Humanoid Locomotion over Diverse Terrains
Feiyang Wu, Xavier Nal, Jaehwi Jang +4
Humanoid robots promise transformative capabilities for industrial and service applications. While recent advances in Reinforcement Learning (RL) yield impressive results in locomo…
