arXiv:2607. 13579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Enabling quadrupedal robots to traverse complex terrains-from rugged outdoor environments to urban landscapes-requires seamless integration of multiple motor skills, smooth transitions between gaits, and high-speed perceptive locomotion using only onboard sensors.

AdaptManip is a fully autonomous framework that enables humanoid robots to navigate, lift, and deliver objects without human demonstrations. It combines a recurrent state estimator for real‑time object tracking, a whole‑body locomotion policy with residual manipulation control, and a LiDAR‑based global position estimator. Trained entirely in simulation with reinforcement learning, the system achieves zero‑shot deployment on real hardware, outperforming imitation‑learning baselines in adaptability and success rate.
