Reinforcement Learning for Stair Locomotion of a Wheeled Bipedal Robot with Contact-Guided Behavior Cloning
ICRA 2026poster
This paper proposes a contact event-guided PPO with Behavior Cloning (PPO-BC) framework for stair locomotion of a 2-wheel 2-leg (2W2L) wheeled bipedal robot. Stair traversal is difficult because successful climbing depends on brief and sparse wheel-stair contact events that require precise leg lifti…
