LightParkour treats humanoid parkour as a testbed for contact-rich skill learning: short human motion seeds are grounded in physics, grown across terrain variations in simulation, and distilled into a single deployable depth policy that drives both locomotion and whole-body parkour on Lightbot 0 via Real2Sim2Real.
