HANDOFF: Humanoid Agentic Task-Space Whole-Body Control via Distilled Complementary Teachers
arXiv:2606. 06493v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For a humanoid robot to be deployed in the real world, the choice of command space (i.
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. 14218v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For robots to work safely in household environments, they need to be compliant and react to torque and force feedback during contact.
arXiv:2605. 23733v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Whole-body tracking (WBT) models have become a key foundation for humanoid robots, enabling them to imitate diverse motions with high fidelity.
Humanoid loco-manipulation is often simplified into a stop-and-go process: walking to an object, stopping to manipulate it, and then resuming locomotion. It also commonly relies on low degree-of-freedom (DoF) end effectors that behave like an open-close grasp primitive.
arXiv:2606. 29209v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present AnyBody, a unified whole-body humanoid controller driven by an arbitrary subset of body keypoints chosen at deploy time.
arXiv:2603. 13707v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humanoid loco-manipulation requires coordinated task-space motion planning with stable loco-manipulation command tracking under complex robot-environment dynamics and long-horizon tasks.
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: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.
In this paper, we present TRACE (Tokenized Robust Attention for Contact-Aware Estimation), an end-to-end learned proprioceptive odometry estimator for legged robots under unreliable contact conditions. The proposed estimator directly predicts relative displacement, relative rotation, and body-frame velocity from a recent history of onboard inertial and joint measurements.
arXiv:2506. 12851v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Humanoid robots are promising to acquire various skills by imitating human behaviors.
arXiv:2607. 11874v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work in humanoid whole-body control has found success with a simple recipe: retarget human motion to robot kinematic references, then train policies via reinforcement learning (RL) to track them.
