Abstract摘要
Robots are increasingly expected to execute natural-language manipulation tasks in real-world environments. This is particularly relevant in household assistance and logistics, where clutter requires reasoning about both task objectives and execution feasibility. This challenge becomes even more pronounced for bimanual humanoid platforms, where coordinating two manipulators introduces additional interaction and kinematic constraints. We present a zero-shot vision-language framework for execution-aware bimanual manipulation that jointly reasons about task objectives and physical feasibility. …

Abstract摘要
We study humanoid navigation across multiple destinations under long-horizon language instructions. This task is challenging because robots must maintain progress across successive goals while continuously producing natural, stable whole-body motion through confined spaces. However, task decomposition in existing methods does not by itself ensure progress throughout execution, while waypoint-based navigation does not guarantee natural, route-faithful whole-body motion. Our key idea is to organize navigation into three complementary roles operating at different time scales: a Brain for task …

Abstract摘要
Vision-language-action (VLA) models pair a vision-language backbone with an action head, but in closed-loop control the backbone sits on the control-critical path: while it computes, the robot keeps moving, so each executed action is conditioned on an increasingly stale observation. A larger backbone therefore directly blocks reactivity, especially in humanoid dexterous manipulation. We present DASH, a Decoupled Asynchronous System for Humanoids that removes this coupling. DASH splits the policy into a slow vision-language model (System 2) and a fast flow-matching action head (System 1) that …

Abstract摘要
Humanoid robots have achieved significant progress in locomotion and manipulation, enabling traversal over rough terrain and richer interaction with the environment, such as moving obstacles. However, most traditional navigation methods assume non-interactive environments and focus only on traversal. While Navigation Among Movable Obstacles (NAMO) approaches relax this assumption, prior efforts have largely focused on flat environments and reactive interaction, rather than predicting object movability and planning ahead. These limitations become critical in outdoor rough-terrain scenarios, …

Humanoid loco-manipulation requires continuous coordination of high-dimensional whole-body motion to realize task objectives. While vision-language-action models and world action models transfer semantic and visual-dynamics priors to robot control, these priors do not necessarily capture the structure of robot motion. We introduce Kinematic Action Models (KAMs), a paradigm that treats whole-body motion as a direct pretraining target and uses a pretrained motion generator as the primary action-generation backbone. KAMs ground learned temporal and cross-body coordination priors through task …

Humanoid robots must coordinate locomotion and manipulation to navigate complex environments and perform everyday tasks. Learning such behaviours from human demonstrations requires accurate whole-body motion paired with egocentric vision, particularly for lower-body movements and foot placements that are frequently invisible from a first-person perspective. However, existing egocentric datasets often lack high-fidelity optical motion capture or systematic coverage of diverse loco-manipulation behaviours.

Humanoid whole-body control requires a robot to track diverse reference motions while maintaining balance under gravity, torque limits, contact switching, and external disturbances. Existing reinforcement-learning-based trackers typically learn control outputs that jointly address motion tracking and balance. However, similar reference poses can correspond to substantially different dynamic demands, requiring a unified policy to learn motion-dependent control requirements alongside balance corrections. This can complicate learning and lead to high-frequency fluctuations in control outputs. We …

Learning locomotion directly on a humanoid robot is a promising direction to avoid the sim-to-real gap. However, locomotion rewards in Reinforcement Learning (RL) typically track the base velocity, which cannot be measured onboard without an external motion capture system or well-calibrated state estimator. This is why we introduce \method{}, which learns humanoid locomotion from minutes of samples with a reward that only requires the onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Instead of tracking the base velocity, STRIDE rewards the robot for following a commanded acceleration profile. To …

Humanoid robots are expected to take over strenuous material handling in manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare, where operating existing wheeled carts would let them move heavy loads without modifying the workplace. However, humanoid cart pushing remains challenging because the bimanual grasp closes a force-coupled loop in which the contact wrenches that drive the cart also disturb the robot's balance, and payload changes alter the coupled dynamics. We propose ForPC, a force-aware whole-body control framework that regulates cart velocity through two-stage reinforcement learning. A …

Abstract摘要
Enabling vision-language models (VLMs) to control humanoid robots requires both reliable whole-body interfaces and knowledge of how to use the body that carries over across tasks. We present HITCH (Harness Interfaces To Command Humanoids), a harness in which perception returns the 3D position of any point the VLM selects in its image, and execution turns commands for the pelvis, torso, hands, walking, and gaze into whole-body motion with a learned tracker. We find that both measuring the scene and executing commands accurately raise task success. We then fine-tune a VLM on trajectories in …

Abstract摘要
Social touch interactions, such as handshakes, fist bumps, and hugs, require humanoid robots to infer human intent, generate contact-rich motions, and maintain safe physical contact. We present AffectiveVLA, an intent-gated Vision-Language-Action (VLA) pipeline deployed on a Unitree G1 humanoid with dexterous hands. A lightweight RGB-based model recognizes interaction intent from two onboard cameras and converts it into a language prompt for the VLA policy. Low-confidence predictions suppress motion execution, reducing unintended activations. During physical contact, interaction-specific …

Humanoid locomotion policies trained without an explicit smoothness objective tend to produce jerky, high-energy gaits that stress actuators. Vision-language models (VLMs) offer an appealing reward source: given a rendered rollout, a VLM returns an aesthetic quality score on [0,10] without task-specific feature engineering. We find, however, that aesthetic preference and physical smoothness point in opposite directions: across four production VLMs, clips with higher joint acceleration receive higher aesthetic scores (mean Pearson r=+0.66). We study PhySA (Physical Smoothness and Aesthetics), …

Wheeled humanoid robots carry both arms on one actuated waist, usually without torque sensors, so the accuracy of both end-effectors depends on a single waist model. After a first stage that estimates the tracker and target extrinsics, we identify the waist and both arms in one problem from the target positions on both flanges, measured by an optical tracker. The kinematic model is complete, with waist-base, parallel-axis, and branch parameters; arm compliances are driven by measured torques and waist compliances by gravity torques of the robot's mass model; and Gaussian priors with …

This paper presents a layered control framework that recasts high-dimensional system dynamics as a composition of dynamically interconnected subsystems, with dynamic dual-arm manipulation on the humanoid serving as a representative application. The humanoid is decomposed into a single rigid body (SRB) representing the torso and floating-base dynamic models representing the articulated arms and lower-body. The rigid connections between arm and torso and the closed kinematic chain formed between the end-effectors during cooperative manipulation are represented as holonomic constraints. The …

Abstract摘要
Humanoid robots have the potential to automate a wide range of physical tasks. Progress toward generalist humanoid autonomy, however, remains constrained by a data bottleneck: mapping pixels and free-form language to low-level joint commands requires paired supervision, and no corpus of such data exists at sufficiently large scale. Some approaches rely on human teleoperation and wearable capture devices, which require at least an hour of human time to produce an hour of data. We present HALO, a humanoid autonomy system powered by a pipeline that synthesizes vision-language-motion data across …

Abstract摘要
Humanoid soccer requires a robot to seamlessly combine agile locomotion, ball manipulation, and impact-rich contact dynamics across a continuous, dynamic behavioral spectrum. Yet existing approaches either cover only a limited set of skills, or forego motion priors entirely and produce unnatural behaviors, leaving the combination of a unified skill set and human-like motion quality unaddressed. We present soccerbot, a hierarchical reinforcement learning framework that resolves both limitations through a structured latent motion prior distilled from large-scale human soccer motion capture …

Abstract摘要
Coordinated whole-body control of humanoid robots remains challenging due to high-dimensional coupled dynamics and substantial physical heterogeneity across joint degrees of freedom (JDoFs). Existing multi-agent reinforcement learning methods either employ coarse agent partitions or directly apply generic heterogeneous-agent algorithms, while hierarchical controllers commonly optimize high-level planning and low-level execution independently, leading to uncoordinated motion. In this paper, we propose H^2MARL, a hierarchical heterogeneous multi-agent reinforcement learning framework with two …

Abstract摘要
Pedestrians increasingly encounter robots in urban public spaces without interacting with them, but how robots change the perceived safety of a street remains unclear. We examine how robot presence and type affect perceived safety across urban contexts. We generate 18 images of Seoul streets that vary in time of day, road class, and robot condition (no robot, a delivery robot, or a humanoid). Two multimodal large language models (MLLMs), Qwen3.8-27B and Gemma4-26B, each conditioned on 500 synthetic personas, choose the safer image in each pair, and 25 human respondents complete the same task. …

Abstract摘要
This letter presents a trajectory planner for humanoid robots to perform dynamic motions on complex, parameterizable terrains using a contact-implicit whole-body optimization framework. The planner generates feasible movements without predefined contact sequences, considering the robot's full dynamics and kinematics. To plan bipedal locomotion on steps, ramps, and other terrains, we propose a mathematical model to approximate ground geometry with a smooth surface. The rigid interaction between the robot and the ground is modeled via novel contact constraints, extending the domain of …

Abstract摘要
Humanoid motion tracking has scaled to general policies that reproduce diverse human motion, but the resulting behavior is in free-space: the tracker knows where the body should be, not how it should interact with the environment. Other work makes the object part of the objective, yet abstracts that interaction to contact or geometry, which leaves the demanding cases under-explored. We argue that force is a natural command channel between motion imitation and object interaction, one that specifies not just where to make contact but how hard. We present Ctrl-F, a hierarchical motion-force …

Abstract摘要
Humanoid robotic hands must provide sufficient force, speed, and backdrivability within a human-scale envelope. Tendon-driven transmissions address this challenge by relocating actuators to the palm and forearm, but routing paths, moment arms, and capstan dimensions jointly determine both force capability and joint speed, so selecting them sequentially satisfies one requirement at the expense of the other. This paper presents a pose-robust actuation co-design for tendon-driven robot hands (PACT) framework that optimizes tendon routing, moment arms, and capstan dimensions under pose-dependent …

Abstract摘要
Hierarchical pipelines for humanoid loco-manipulation typically pair a task-agnostic whole-body controller (WBC) with a downstream task policy. Such WBCs are often trained through manual reward shaping, which yields visibly machine-like motions; more consequentially, they are trained without the manipulated object in the scene. Object dynamics are instead approximated through randomized end-effector force disturbances, a proxy that fails to reproduce the distributed multi-contact wrench a real payload applies across the arms and torso, with the gap becoming critical near the platform's …

Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated body motion and hand interaction over time, and a plausible-looking command sequence can still drop a held object or leave an interaction incomplete. We present action-conditioned latent foresight, a latent world-action model (WAM) that evaluates proposed command sequences before execution. An action generator proposes joint motion-hand command sequences from vision, language, and the robot state. An action-conditioned endpoint predictor estimates the visual features each sequence prefix reaches and measures progress toward a …

Humanoid robots operating in cluttered environments must react to unexpected contacts before the first impact peak, which arrives within tens of milliseconds. Learned whole-body policies running at 50 Hz introduce a policy-cycle delay and may suppress a protective withdrawal as a tracking error. To address these challenges, we propose ARC (Ascending Reflex Control), a bottom-up framework that integrates instantaneous tactile reflexes with learned whole-body control. ARC consists of two components: an instantaneous reflex pathway and bottom-up reflex integration. The reflex pathway detects …

Operating rooms (ORs) increasingly contain ambient sensing infrastructure to enable AI-based optimization of workflows and utilization. We pursue an alternative path: using ambient AI to guide robot action and optimize utilization. Deploying humanoids in the OR without ambient AI is severely limited by cumbersome de novo orientation and planning due to partial onboard observations. We posit that this can be achieved by coupling an ambient AI-based agentic orchestrator with the humanoid robotic actor, providing shared perception and execution feedback for humanoid autonomy in the OR.

Humanoid locomotion requires deciding where to step and how to distribute contact forces. However, a disturbance can invalidate the nominal plan, requiring coordinated revision under constraints that switch with every footfall. To solve this online, the proposed approach employs the single-rigid-body model, which retains attitude dynamics and the full contact wrench. An iterative linear-quadratic-regulator MPC (iLQR-MPC) then jointly optimizes contact forces and footstep locations in a single receding-horizon problem, without a separate step planner. Specifically, contact and motion …

Hamilton-Jacobi (HJ) reachability provides certified backward reachable tubes (BRTs) for safety-critical robotic systems, but the level-set computation scales exponentially in the state dimension and has historically been performed offline. As autonomy stacks (ADAS/AV, humanoid robotics, and vision-language-action models) increasingly rely on black-box, probabilistic policies, a deterministic safety layer with formal guarantees is an essential complement. We present a CUDA implementation of the canonical WENO5 + TVD-RK3 + Lax-Friedrichs level-set Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs solver for 2D, 3D, and …

Abstract摘要
Contact transitions allow humanoid robots to redistribute object support across the whole body, enabling manipulation beyond hand-only grasps. Human videos provide a scalable source of such transitions for robots to learn from. However, body occlusion disrupts object pose tracking and corrupts retargeted motion. Moreover, accurately reproducing the object trajectory does not ensure that the robot applies stabilizing forces at the intended contacts, risking slips or drops in later phases. To address these challenges, we propose ReContact, which reconstructs and retargets human-object …

We present ReGATE, a whole-body controller that combines egocentric depth, proprioception, and online locomotion and contact commands.

Head-wise and global gates regulate visual updates to a proprioceptive …
