Agile perceptive multi-skill locomotion for quadrupedal robots in the wild

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.

Learning to Walk With Less: A Dyna-Style Approach to Quadrupedal Locomotion

arXiv:2509. 06296v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Traditional on-policy reinforcement learning (RL) controllers for quadrupedal locomotion often suffer from low data efficiency, requiring millions of interactions with simulated environments to achieve stable control.

PGTT: Phase-Guided Terrain Traversal for Perceptive Legged Locomotion

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.
