Learns a reduced-order reference generator, then trains a whole-body tracker on its online rollouts, so one pair of policies covers many gaits. On a Unitree G1: -2.0 to 2.8 m/s, hopping and continuous transitions.先学习降阶模型参考生成器,再用其在线输出训练全身跟踪策略,一对策略即可覆盖多种步态。Unitree G1 实机实现 -2.0 到 2.8 m/s 行走、单腿跳与连续切换。

Unitree G1 walks at variable height (1.27–0.50 m) and crawls (0.50–0.20 m), with a learned transition policy between modes and a LiDAR planner that sets height targets for confined-space traversal on hardware.让 Unitree G1 在 1.27–0.50 米高度范围内变高步行、在 0.50–0.20 米范围内爬行,并用学习到的过渡策略在两种模式间切换;结合 LiDAR 规划器给出高度目标,在真机上穿越低矮受限空间。

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
A fundamental aspect of humanoid footstep planning is to jointly guarantee obstacle avoidance and locomotion stability. This paper presents a capturability-aware sequential Model Predictive Control (MPC) framework for Linear Inverted Pendulum (LIP)-based humanoid footstep planning in the presence of obstacles. The proposed method combines obstacle avoidance with capturability constraints through safe corridors constructed as sequences of intersecting rectangles, yielding a sequential MPC framework with recursive feasibility guarantees for the LIP-based planning layer. The planner autonomously …

Wearable robots such as supernumerary robotic limbs (SRLs) can augment human capability, but their effectiveness depends strongly on the operator's sense of embodiment, comprising the sense of agency (SoA) and the sense of ownership (SoO). When an SRL is detached from the body so that the operator can act in two places at once, both the sense of agency and task performance tend to degrade. This paper presents the Multi-modal Embodiment Stimulation Shoulder Pad (MESSPa), a wearable interface that combines one-to-one motion transfer with spatially distributed pneumatic (balloon) haptic feedback …

Abstract摘要
Closing the gap between benchmark performance and reliable real-world operation remains a central challenge for Vision-Language-Action (VLA) humanoid robots, which must handle execution errors, distribution shifts, and environmental variability. This paper presents DEED (Data-Efficient Post-Training and Experience-Driven Learning), a systems-level approach evaluated on a supermarket chip-restocking task using a Unitree G1-Edu humanoid robot and the GR00T N1.6 foundation model. DEED comprises three key components: (1) a data-efficient post-training pipeline with control-frequency alignment, …

Abstract摘要
Equipping humanoid robots with coherent and adaptable personas is crucial for fostering natural, engaging, and trustworthy human-robot interaction (HRI). However, existing approaches often rely on static, hard-coded identities that lack the flexibility to adapt to individual user contexts. In this paper, we present PACE (Persona Adaptation through Conversational Elicitation), a novel framework for the interactive generation and deployment of structured personas on the Ameca humanoid robot. Our system introduces an Interactive Persona Elicitation Pipeline, enabling the robot to dynamically …
