KPI: A Promptable Kernel for Physical Interaction on Humanoids

Yikai Wang, Honghao Zhu, Xiao Hu +5

Humanoids now walk, balance and reach with remarkable generality: one whole-body tracking policy follows references from a human, or from an end-to-end policy. That generality trav…

Anticipatory Robot Goalkeeping via Monotone Optimal Stopping

Hao E. Zhang, Ruize Geng, Yisen Li +8

Robots engaged in fast physical interactions often need to act before the intent of another agent is fully known. Anticipatory goalkeeping illustrates this challenge. Waiting provi…

Dynamics-Induced Commitment in Learning-Based Robotic Penalty Kicks

Ruize Geng, Hao E. Zhang, Yisen Li +3

Learning in robotic games is constrained not only by strategic information but also by what the body can still execute. We study this coupling in a hierarchical humanoid-quadruped…

Keep the Future, Drop the Rollout: RIFT for World Action Models

Chushan Zhang, Jinguang Tong, Xuesong Li +2

World action models (WAMs) condition robot actions on predicted futures, but iterative video rollout increases deployment latency. We ask whether action generation requires the evo…

HALO: Learning Human-Robot Collaboration via Heterogeneous-Agent Lyapunov Policy Optimization

Hao Zhang, Yaru Niu, Yikai Wang +2

To improve generalization and resilience in human-robot collaboration (HRC), robots must contend with diverse combinations of human behaviors and contexts, motivating multi-agent r…

APEX: Learning Adaptive High-Platform Traversal for Humanoid Robots

Yikai Wang, Tingxuan Leng, Changyi Lin +5

Humanoid locomotion has advanced rapidly with deep reinforcement learning (DRL), enabling robust feet-based traversal over uneven terrain. Yet platforms beyond leg length remain la…

LocoTouch: Learning Dynamic Quadrupedal Transport with Tactile Sensing

Changyi Lin, Yuxin Ray Song, Boda Huo +9

Quadrupedal robots have demonstrated remarkable agility and robustness in traversing complex terrains. However, they struggle with dynamic object interactions, where contact must b…

EMOS: Embodiment-aware Heterogeneous Multi-robot Operating System with LLM Agents

Junting Chen, Checheng Yu, Xunzhe Zhou +7

Heterogeneous multi-robot systems (HMRS) have emerged as a powerful approach for tackling complex tasks that single robots cannot manage alone. Current large-language-model-based m…
