Light Origins' Light-Loco-Parkour demonstrates a humanoid robot policy that decides when to walk, vault, or climb across complex terrain using only onboard sensing and compute. Unlike methods relying on large motion corpora, it trains with sparse seeds and no sub-task labels, learning when to deploy its locomotion skills. The team discussed details on Episode 104 of RoboPapers.
