Ego-Vision World Model for Humanoid Contact Planning
Enabling humanoid robots to exploit physical contact, rather than simply avoid collisions, is crucial for autonomy in unstructured environments. Traditional optimization-based planners struggle with contact complexity, while on-policy reinforcement learning (RL) is sample-inefficient and has limited multi-task ability. We propose a framework combining a learned world model with sampling-based Model Predictive Control (MPC), trained on a demonstration-free offline dataset to predict future outcomes in a compressed latent space. To address sparse contact rewards and sensor noise, the MPC uses a learned surrogate value function for dense, robust planning. Our single, scalable model supports contact-aware tasks, including wall support after perturbation, blocking incoming objects, and traversing height-limited arches, with improved sample efficiency and multi-task capability over on-policy RL. Deployed on a physical humanoid, our system achieves robust, real-time contact planning from proprioception and ego-centric depth images. Code and dataset are available at our website: https://ego-vcp.github.io/

Task and Motion Planning for Humanoid Loco-manipulation
This work presents an optimization-based task and motion planning (TAMP) framework that unifies planning for locomotion and manipulation through a shared representation of contact modes. We define symbolic actions as con…
Motion PlanningLearning Versatile Humanoid Manipulation with Touch Dreaming
Humanoid robots promise general-purpose assistance, yet real-world humanoid loco-manipulation remains challenging because it requires whole-body stability, end-effector dexterity, and contact-aware interaction under freq…
SIMPLE: Simulation-Based Policy Learning and Evaluation for Humanoid Loco-manipulation
Humanoid foundation models are advancing faster than we can evaluate them. While real-world testing is expensive and difficult to reproduce, existing simulation benchmarks focus primarily on table-top or wheeled robots. …
Motion PlanningHumanoidVLM: Vision-Language-Guided Impedance Control for Contact-Rich Humanoid Manipulation
Humanoid robots must adapt their contact behavior to diverse objects and tasks, yet most controllers rely on fixed, hand-tuned impedance gains and gripper settings. This paper introduces HumanoidVLM, a vision-language dr…
WT-UMI: Tactile-based Whole-Body Manipulation via Force-Supervised Contact-Aware Planning
Whole-body humanoid manipulation of bulky, deformable, and shared-load objects requires distributed contact sensing and explicit force regulation, yet most imitation policies treat contact force only implicitly. On the o…
