Reflex demo: catch, carry, hand over — code and paper open-sourced
DJiafei · x · 2026-10-09
The Reflex humanoid catching project's downstream demo shows a full pipeline: catch → carry → hand over → return, connecting Reflex to a pretrained SONIC walking controller. Led by Taoyang Jia (currently seeking PhD opportunities) with collaborators across multiple institutions, the team released the project page, code, paper, and interactive simulation replays. The author calls it a highly practical project and urges putting Reflex to real work in factories.
