Tsinghua team fuses perception into motor control, cutting robot tracking errors by 46%

Prof. Zhao Mingguo's team at Tsinghua University published in Science Robotics a method that fuses perception directly into motor control: detection and landmark cues run at 25Hz, feed a BEV projection with odometry, and drive a 50Hz policy network for action output.
The approach lets simulation-trained robots adapt to real terrain and lighting without retraining, reducing tracking errors by 46%. The demo shows a humanoid robot playing soccer.
