WholeBodyVLA: Towards Unified Latent VLA for Whole-Body Loco-Manipulation Control

Haoran Jiang, Jin Chen, Qingwen Bu et al.

Humanoid robots require precise locomotion and dexterous manipulation to perform challenging loco-manipulation tasks. Yet existing approaches, modular or end-to-end, are deficient in manipulation-aware locomotion.

GR00T N1: An Open Foundation Model for Generalist Humanoid Robots

NVIDIA, :, Johan Bjorck et al.

General-purpose robots need a versatile body and an intelligent mind. Recent advancements in humanoid robots have shown great promise as a hardware platform for building generalist autonomy in the human world.
