Humanoids have come so far—it’s amazing to see how much the field has transformed! 🚀 Back when I started my PhD 15 years ago, the focus was on mastering the fundamentals: balance, walking on level ground/mild rough terrain, foot placement strategies, capture point, operational

Humanoid robots navigating in human crowds? We’re getting closer! 🤖📷 Imagine a future where humanoid robots seamlessly walk among us—delivering food on campus, assisting in shopping malls, or navigating office spaces. Our latest work, EmoBipedNav, brings us one step closer by

🚀 Can we do even better than DAGGER (a popular imitation learning algorithm in RL) in terms of sample efficiency? Absolutely! Check out our latest work on Learn to Teach (L2T)—a one-stage training framework that seamlessly unifies teacher and student policy learning. This work

✨ Farewell to Wei Zhu, LIDAR’s very first postdoc, as he concludes his journey at Georgia Tech! During his time with us, Wei made remarkable contributions to social navigation for humanoid robots through reinforcement learning and human emotion prediction. Check this work if you
