GaitSpan: Growing Humanoid Locomotion from Walking to Running
Kwan-Yee Lin, Zilin Wang, Janelle J. Liu +1
A humanoid that can walk should not relearn locomotion from scratch to jog or run. Yet current approaches often obtain gait diversity by prescribing gait schedules, imitating motio…
VIGOR: Visual Goal-In-Context Inference for Unified Humanoid Fall Safety
Osher Azulay, Zhengjie Xu, Andrew Scheffer +1
Reliable fall recovery is critical for humanoids operating in cluttered environments. Unlike quadrupeds or wheeled robots, humanoids experience high-energy impacts, complex whole-b…
Unified Humanoid Fall-Safety Policy from a Few Demonstrations
Zhengjie Xu, Ye Li, Kwan-yee Lin +1
Falling is an inherent risk of humanoid mobility. Maintaining stability is thus a primary safety focus in robot control and learning, yet no existing approach fully averts loss of…
Let Humanoids Hike! Integrative Skill Development on Complex Trails
Kwan-Yee Lin, Stella X. Yu
Hiking on complex trails demands balance, agility, and adaptive decision-making over unpredictable terrain. Current humanoid research remains fragmented and inadequate for hiking:…
