The human nervous system exhibits bilateral symmetry, enabling coordinated and balanced movements. However, existing Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods for humanoid robots neglect morphological symmetry of the robot, leading to uncoordinated and suboptimal behaviors. Inspired by human motor c
Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based methods have significantly improved the locomotion performance of legged robots. However, these motion policies face significant challenges when deployed in the real world. Robots operating in uncertain environments struggle to adapt to payload variations and extern…
Humanoid robots are expected to operate reliably over long horizons while executing versatile whole-body skills. Yet Reinforcement Learning (RL) motion policies typically lose stability under prolonged operation, sensor/actuator noise, and real world disturbances. In this work, we propose a Selectiv
Learning policies for complex humanoid tasks remains both challenging and compelling. Inspired by how infants and athletes rely on external support—such as parental walkers or coach-applied guidance—to acquire skills like walking, dancing, and performing acrobatic flips, we propose A2CF: Adaptive As…
Recent advancements in quadruped robot research have significantly improved their ability to traverse complex and unstructured outdoor environments. However, the issue of noise generated during locomotion is generally overlooked, which is critically important in noise-sensitive indoor environments,
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has achieved significant advancements in legged robot locomotion tasks. However, neural network-based control policies suffer from action fluctuations in complex environments due to sensor noise and external disturbances, resulting in decreased locomotion performanc
Reinforcement Learning (RL) has achieved remarkable success in various continuous control tasks, such as robot manipulation and locomotion. Different to mainstream RL which makes decisions at individual steps, recent studies have incorporated action repetition into RL, achieving enhanced action pers…
Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) has achieved remarkable advances in sequential decision tasks. However, recent works have revealed that DRL agents are susceptible to slight perturbations in observations. This vulnerability raises concerns regarding the effectiveness and robustness of deploying suc…
Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) algorithms such as AlphaGo and MuZero have achieved superhuman performance in many challenging tasks. However, the computational complexity of MCTS-based algorithms is influenced by the size of the search space. To address this issue, we propose a novel probability tre…
Reinforcement learning (RL) has achieved some notable accomplishments in robotics. However, one of the major challenges when applying RL in the real world is that unexpected disturbances in local dynamics could lead to failures of policies at test time. It is necessary to learn a model capable of ad
Music to dance for humanoid robots is an interesting task. Robot dance generation is challenging when considering music pieces, human dancer motions, and robot stability simultaneously. Previous methods rely on human-designed motion library or stability constraints for robot postures. Hence, dance g…
