Excited to be at #ICRA this week! Working on humanoids, RL, or sim-to-real? Let’s grab coffee—DMs are open. See you there! Presentation for: HOVER: Versatile Neural Whole-Body Controller for Humanoid Robots 📍 Room 307 (Regular Session WeET6: Learning for Legged Locomotion 1) ⏰

If you are impressed by Tesla Optimus, also check out Roger Qiu 's talk on leveraging human videos for humanoid bimanual manipulation. Paper: Humanoid Policy ~ Human Policy Link: human-as-robot.github.io

System ID for legged robots is hard: (1) Discontinuous dynamics and (2) many parameters to identify and hard to "excite" them. SPI-Active is a general tool for legged robot system ID. Key ideas: (1) massively parallel sampling-based optimization, (2) structured parameter space,

Finally, we have an alternative RL alg for sim2real legged robot learning!

Humanoids can run, parkour, dance, and fight nowadays, but can it serve🍺☕️ just like wheeled robots? It could be hard - we found that the default G1 controller yields an average end-effector acceleration ~0.5G (human-level is ~0.05G)! Check-out👇to see how we reduce this

Great work - Robot/object/contact co-tracking and curriculum via virtual object controllers are really good ideas. We will see similar ideas for humanoid whole-body manipulation and loco-manipulation very soon!

🚀 HERE WE GO! Join us at CVPR 2025 for a full-day tutorial: “Robotics 101: An Odyssey from a Vision Perspective” 🗓️ June 12 • 📍 Room 202B, Nashville Meet our incredible lineup of speakers: Dhruv Shah Guanya Shi Davide Scaramuzza Boris Ivanovic Deepak Pathak Angjoo Kanazawa Yilun Du and I

✈️to #CVPR2025 to give three workshop/tutorial talks about learning humanoid whole-body control and loco-manipulation: - Wed 8:30am @ 3D Scene Understanding, 106C - Wed 10am @ Humanoid Agent, 101D - Thu 11am @ Robotics 101 tutorial, 202B Excited to meet old & new friends!

Very impressive! 2025 will be a year going from single-motion agile WBC policy (e.g., ASAP) to versatile & agile & steerable "Behavioral Foundation Models" for humanoids! We will also likely see research combining such models with VLA-style system2 at the end of 2025!

Russ's recent talk at Stanford has to be my favorite in the past couple of years. I have asked everyone in my lab to watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=TN1M6v… IMO our community has accrued a huge amount of "research debt" (analogous to "technical debt") through flashy demos and

Arrived in LA for #RSS2025. We'll present the Flying Hand work on Monday afternoon, in the Mobile Manipulation and Locomotion session. Hope to meet old & new friends and chat more on Mobile Manipulation and Dex Manipulation😃

At #RSS2025, #NVIDIAResearch is advancing agile #humanoidrobot control, sim-to-real transfer, and foundation models for open-world reasoning. Dive into the #robotics research: nvda.ws/4kO5xqu

Executable action vocabulary naturally exists for manipulation VLA (e.g., end-effector pose). For building humanoid VLA, this paper learns an action vocabulary connecting systems 1&2 that is: 1. Expressive enough and executable for versatile humanoid whole-body control in system
