CWI: Composite Humanoid Whole-Body Imitation System for Loco-manipulation

Achieving everyday tasks with humanoid robots requires coordinating stable locomotion with versatile manipulation. However, existing whole-body controllers still face significant challenges. Methods trained solely via command sampling, without motion-capture (MoCap) data, often struggle with sparse rewards and require carefully tuned curricula to converge. This is especially problematic for upper-body control, where the resulting motions deviate from human-like statistics and degrade whole-body coordination. Conversely, approaches that imitate full-body MoCap data suffer from dataset imbalance, as many locomotion trajectories are overly aggressive for stable-locomotion scenarios, necessitating extensive data filtering and augmentation. To address this, we present Composite Whole-Body Imitation (CWI), a framework that decouples the use of MoCap data for upper-body manipulation and lower-body locomotion. This decoupling allows us to exploit the full MoCap dataset of diverse manipulation references, while stable, command-conditioned lower-body locomotion is guided by dual discriminators trained on curated expert-quality walking and squatting clips via an Adversarial Motion Prior (AMP). A multi-critic architecture reduces conflicts among locomotion, manipulation, and motion-style objectives, and a teacher--student distillation stage yields a whole-body policy conditioned only on bimanual hand poses and velocity/height commands. We evaluate CWI through simulation experiments and real-world deployment on a full-size LimX Oli humanoid. The results show competitive loco-manipulation performance, robust whole-body coordination, and practical teleoperation without full-body motion-capture equipment.
