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.
arXiv:2510. 18348v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: State-of-the-art perceptive Reinforcement Learning controllers for legged robots typically either (i) impose oscillator-or IK-based gait priors that constrain the action space, bias policy optimization, and limit adaptability across robot morphologies, or (ii) operate "blind," making them unable to anticipate hind-leg terrain and brittle to observation noise.
arXiv:2606. 15896v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Learning-based quadrupedal locomotion typically relies on complex reward formulations that entangle task specification, operational limits, gait preference, and terrain adaptation within a single optimization objective.
OmniMimic is a training framework that expands limited animal demonstration data into a single multi‑gait policy for omnidirectional quadruped locomotion. It uses temporal reversal, constrained dynamics completion, and sagittal reflection to generate kinematic and physical supervision beyond the observed directions, then progressively expands command ranges and employs a shared actor with soft‑gated gait‑specialized residual experts. In simulation, OmniMimic improves foot‑position accuracy by 12.9% and velocity‑tracking error by 63.1% over the APEX baseline across four gaits.
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.
arXiv:2609.17628v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Active perception allows autonomous agents to select their viewpoints rather than passively process the viewpoints given to them, enabling them to ta...
