Navigation in vision-denied environments is challenging for humanoid robots because proprioceptive odometry drifts and localization uncertainty accumulates rapidly. We present TAPNAV, a tactile active-perception framework that enables humanoid navigation toward a goal by actively probing surrounding structures without …

With the rapid advancement of text-to-image (T2I) generation, robust evaluation becomes critical yet challenging, as traditional metrics fail to capture fine-grained alignment and generative artifacts. While large multimodal models (LMMs) are increasingly adopted as evaluators, existing benchmarks typically study seman …

Robotic foundation models offer a promising path toward general-purpose humanoid robot control, often through hierarchical architectures. However, their effectiveness depends on the command interface between the planner and the controller, which must support accurate execution while remaining easy to predict, and ideal …

Humanoid robots are expected to perform diverse human-level tasks in daily environments, many of which require precise regulation of interaction forces. While recent vision-language-action (VLA) models have shown promise for semantic planning and visuomotor control, existing humanoid systems primarily represent actions …
