The paper introduces FLORE, a framework for learning force‑reactive humanoid loco‑manipulation. It uses robot‑free demonstrations with force‑sensing grippers and wearable trackers to train a diffusion policy that predicts actions and per‑hand force commands from vision, proprioception, and measured wrenches. A hybrid compliance whole‑body controller then executes these commands, achieving accurate force tracking and maintaining balance, outperforming a position‑only policy on three contact‑rich tasks.

ForceFlow is a force-aware reactive framework that uses flow matching to improve contact-rich manipulation. It fuses force signals asymmetrically, treats force as a global regulator, and employs a joint prediction paradigm to couple force and motion. The approach splits tasks into a vision-dominant localization stage and a touch-dominant execution stage, using a Vision-to-Force handover to separate spatial generalization from contact regulation.
