SPARK: Skeleton-Parameter Aligned Retargeting on Humanoid Robots with Kinodynamic Trajectory Optimization
Hanwen Wang, Qiayuan Liao, Bike Zhang +3
Human motion provides rich priors for training general-purpose humanoid control policies, but raw demonstrations are often incompatible with a robot's kinematics and dynamics, limi…
mjlab: A Lightweight Framework for GPU-Accelerated Robot Learning
Kevin Zakka, Qiayuan Liao, Brent Yi +3
We present mjlab, a lightweight, open-source framework for robot learning that combines GPU-accelerated simulation with composable environments and minimal setup friction. mjlab ad…
BeyondMimic: From Motion Tracking to Versatile Humanoid Control via Guided Diffusion
Qiayuan Liao, Takara E. Truong, Xiaoyu Huang +4
The human-like form of humanoid robots positions them uniquely to achieve the agility and versatility in motor skills that humans possess. Learning from human demonstrations offers…
LeVERB: Humanoid Whole-Body Control with Latent Vision-Language Instruction
Haoru Xue, Xiaoyu Huang, Dantong Niu +8
Vision-language-action (VLA) models have demonstrated strong semantic understanding and zero-shot generalization, yet most existing systems assume an accurate low-level controller…
HITTER: A HumanoId Table TEnnis Robot via Hierarchical Planning and Learning
Zhi Su, Bike Zhang, Nima Rahmanian +5
Humanoid robots have recently achieved impressive progress in locomotion and whole-body control, yet they remain constrained in tasks that demand rapid interaction with dynamic env…
LangWBC: Language-directed Humanoid Whole-Body Control via End-to-end Learning
Yiyang Shao, Xiaoyu Huang, Bike Zhang +6
General-purpose humanoid robots are expected to interact intuitively with humans, enabling seamless integration into daily life. Natural language provides the most accessible mediu…
