Seamless Integration and Coordination of Cognitive Skills in Humanoid Robots: A Deep Learning Approach
This study investigates how adequate coordination among the different cognitive processes of a humanoid robot can be developed through end-to-end learning of direct perception of visuomotor stream. We propose a deep dynamic neural network model built on a dynamic vision network, a motor generation network, and a higher-level network. The proposed model was designed to process and to integrate direct perception of dynamic visuomotor patterns in a hierarchical model characterized by different spatial and temporal constraints imposed on each level. We conducted synthetic robotic experiments in which a robot learned to read human's intention through observing the gestures and then to generate the corresponding goal-directed actions. Results verify that the proposed model is able to learn the tutored skills and to generalize them to novel situations. The model showed synergic coordination of perception, action and decision making, and it integrated and coordinated a set of cognitive skills including visual perception, intention reading, attention switching, working memory, action preparation and execution in a seamless manner. Analysis reveals that coherent internal representations emerged at each level of the hierarchy. Higher-level representation reflecting actional intention developed by means of continuous integration of the lower-level visuo-proprioceptive stream.

Learning Human-Like Badminton Skills for Humanoid Robots
Realizing versatile and human-like performance in high-demand sports like badminton remains a formidable challenge for humanoid robotics. Unlike standard locomotion or static manipulation, this task demands a seamless in…
Reinforcement LearningX-Loco: Towards Generalist Humanoid Locomotion Control via Synergetic Policy Distillation
While recent advances have demonstrated strong performance in individual humanoid skills such as upright locomotion, fall recovery and whole-body coordination, learning a single policy that masters all these skills remai…
Generating Physically Realistic and Directable Human Motions from Multi-Modal Inputs
This work focuses on generating realistic, physically-based human behaviors from multi-modal inputs, which may only partially specify the desired motion. For example, the input may come from a VR controller providing arm…
Imitation LearningRPG: Robust Policy Gating for Smooth Multi-Skill Transitions in Humanoid Fighting
Humanoid robots have demonstrated impressive motor skills in a wide range of tasks, yet whole-body control for humanlike long-time, dynamic fighting remains particularly challenging due to the stringent requirements on a…
Hierarchical visuomotor control of humanoids
We aim to build complex humanoid agents that integrate perception, motor control, and memory. In this work, we partly factor this problem into low-level motor control from proprioception and high-level coordination of th…
