Generalist Contact Planner + Tracker + Neural Mapping Push Humanoid Mobility Forward
ChongZzZhang · x · 2026-10-28
A new humanoid robotics work combines a generalist contact planner, a generalist tracker, and a generalized neural mapping, warm-started from only a small amount of human data, pushing humanoid mobility to a new frontier. Commenters note few recent papers do all three on a humanoid; next steps include arbitrary (non-predefined) contacts and a unified model. Involves the @leggedrobotics team, with project website and demo video.
