Real-IKEA: Physical Fidelity is the Prerequisite for Robust Manipulation
Kunqi Xu, Zhenhao Huang, Siyuan Luo +2
Robotic manipulation robustness often founders on the physics gap between simplified simulations and the resistance-laden real world. In this work, we emphasize that physical reali…
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…
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…
REBot: Reflexive Evasion Robot for Instantaneous Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance
Zihao Xu, Ce Hao, Chunzheng Wang +3
Dynamic obstacle avoidance (DOA) is critical for quadrupedal robots operating in environments with moving obstacles or humans. Existing approaches typically rely on navigation-base…
