Building Behavioral Foundation Models (BFMs) for humanoid robots has the potential to unify diverse control tasks under a single, promptable generalist policy. However, existing approaches are either exclusively deployed on simulated humanoid characters, or specialized to specific tasks such as trac…
This paper introduces a framework for interactive navigation through adaptive non-prehensile mobile manipulation. A key challenge in this process is to manipulate objects with unknown dynamics, which are difficult to infer from visual observation. To address this, we propose an adaptive dynamics mod
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in general-purpose perception and reasoning, but they still struggle with tasks that require spatial understanding of the 3D world. To address this, we introduce pySpatial, a visual programming framework that equips MLLM…
In this work, we introduce a framework that enables highly maneuverable locomotion using non-periodic contacts. This task is challenging for traditional optimization and planning methods to handle due to difficulties in specifying contact mode sequences in real-time. To address this, we use a bi-lev
In this work, we present a control framework to effectively maneuver wheelchairs with a dynamically stable mobile manipulator. Wheelchairs are a type of nonholonomic cart system, maneuvering such systems with mobile manipulators (MM) is challenging mostly due to the following reasons: 1) These syste…
