arXiv:2608. 01506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans readily adapt their movements as their bodies change through aging, injury, or load carrying, but learning-based robot policies often break when hardware properties shift.
arXiv:2509. 26633v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: A dominant paradigm for teaching humanoid robots complex skills is to retarget human motions as kinematic references to train reinforcement learning (RL) policies.
arXiv:2509. 06296v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional on-policy reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for quadrupedal locomotion often suffer from low data efficiency, requiring millions of interactions with simulated environments to achieve stable control.
arXiv:2604. 08780v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models promise a paradigm shift in robotics, where an agent learns the physics of its environment once and then acquires behaviors efficiently.
arXiv:2603. 03751v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Cooperative object transport in unstructured environments remains challenging for assistive humanoids because strong, time-varying interaction forces can make tracking-centric whole-body control unreliable, especially in close-contact support tasks.
arXiv:2606. 13886v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models excel at mapping visual inputs and natural language instructions directly to robotic control policies.
arXiv:2606. 15896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based quadrupedal locomotion typically relies on complex reward formulations that entangle task specification, operational limits, gait preference, and terrain adaptation within a single optimization objective.
arXiv:2508. 18066v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Controlling high-dimensional and nonlinear musculoskeletal models of the human body is a foundational scientific challenge.
arXiv:2606. 06218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A policy tuned for one robot often behaves differently on another, whether due to the sim-to-real gap, unknown payloads, or the differing dynamics of two instances of the same robot.
arXiv:2607. 29172v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While robot foundation models are growing increasingly capable, the strongest models are typically trained on proprietary data and remain closed-source, limiting downstream users' ability to adapt them to new tasks, embodiments, and deployment settings.
arXiv:2608. 07328v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hardware failures require legged robots to rapidly reorganize coordination and gait timing to maintain stability and mobility.
arXiv:2607. 00442v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for quadruped locomotion commonly depends on fixed, hand-crafted, and Markovian reward functions that limit both interpretability of learned policies and lack explicit control over gait behaviors.
arXiv:2606. 00702v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We propose to turn generalist multi-embodiment value functions into reusable models for robot design.
