Perception-based humanoid loco-manipulation requires connecting egocentric observations and task instructions to whole-body motion. Learning this mapping requires synchronized egocentric images, language commands, and robot-compatible kinematic trajectories, yet no existing data source provides this complete tuple at scale.
arXiv:2606. 31329v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hierarchical Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models decouple high-level planning from low-level control to improve generalization in robot manipulation.
