arXiv:2607. 20399v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Full-sized humanoid robot capabilities have grown exponentially in recent years, aiming towards general-purpose deployment in human environments.
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:2606. 00252v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Manipulating suspended payloads with humanoid robots is challenging because the robot can only influence an underactuated, oscillatory load through whole-body motion and intermittent contact.
arXiv:2607. 19479v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing teleoperation systems are often tailored to specific robot hardware and task domains, limiting their scalability and adaptability.
arXiv:2606. 14561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robotics manipulation research increasingly focuses on two-finger parallel grippers for their effectiveness, affordability, and ease of teleoperation.
arXiv:2606. 05873v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humanoid robots hold great promise for operating in human-centered environments, yet ladder climbing remains one of the most challenging tasks due to sparse footholds and handholds, complex whole-body coordination, and sensitivity to perception and control errors.
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. 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: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:2510. 08807v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: From loco-motion to dextrous manipulation, humanoid robots have made remarkable strides in demonstrating complex full-body capabilities.
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.
arXiv:2606. 08253v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enabling humanoid robots to operate in complex, dynamic environments remains a critical challenge, fundamentally limited by the ability to navigate robustly, safely, and accurately.
