Staged Multi-Agent Training (SMAT) for Hip Exoskeletons: Metabolic and Biomechanical Validation of a Simulation-Trained Co-Adaptive Controller

arXiv:2608. 00715v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based controllers can deliver exoskeleton assistance after training entirely in physics-based simulation, yet few controllers that address human-device co-adaptation have been validated on real users by whole-body metabolic measurement, the standard benchmark for assistive walking.

OLIVE: Online Low-Rank Incremental Learning for Efficient Adaptive Exoskeletons

arXiv:2606. 05234v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wearable exoskeleton systems hold promise for restoring mobility in individuals with physical impairments, yet most existing controllers rely on static gait policies that lack the ability to adapt to dynamic real-world environments or individual user characteristics.

Lambda-Hold Control: Human-Like Movement Emerges from a Minimal Task Reward in Predictive Musculoskeletal Simulation

arXiv:2608. 17030v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The massive overactuation in the human musculoskeletal system makes it challenging to train musculoskeletal models to generate human-like motion via reinforcement learning, primarily because exploration in the resulting high-dimensional and redundant action space is extremely inefficient.

Imitation Learning from Human Motion Alone Does Not Guarantee Biomechanically Plausible Gait Kinetics

arXiv:2603. 12408v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Motion imitation learning (IL) is increasingly used in robotics and human gait modeling, yet its ability to recover biomechanically consistent joint moments without explicit kinetic information remains unclear.

Rapid Embodiment Adaptation for Quadrupedal Locomotion

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.

Learning Reusable Hybrid Motion Priors for Humanoid Locomotion from Motion Imitation

arXiv:2607. 24083v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning can produce robust humanoid controllers, but each new task is typically trained as a separate policy with its own reward design and training process.

OGA-AID: Clinician-in-the-loop AI Report Drafting Assistant for Multimodal Observational Gait Analysis in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation

arXiv:2604. 05360v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Gait analysis is essential in post-stroke rehabilitation but remains time-intensive and cognitively demanding, especially when clinicians must integrate gait videos and motion-capture data into structured reports.
