🚀 Introducing SoftMimic: Compliant humanoids for an interactive future — bringing humanoids into the real world 🤝 🔗 Current humanoids collapse when they touch the world — they can’t handle contact or deviation from their reference motion 😭 😎SoftMimic learns to deviate gracefully from motion references. It natively embraces contact and forces — enabling safer, more robust robots that generalize better and interact gently. Work led by Gabe Margolis Michelle and Nolan Fey

Excited to share a new humanoid robot platform we’ve been working on. Berkeley Humanoid is a reliable and low-cost mid-scale research platform for learning-based control. We demonstrate the robot walking on various terrains and dynamic hopping with a simple RL controller.

The ability to try any new thing with a sensible approach is a cornerstone of artificial general intelligence. Now the real world is yours for learning, NEO.

Excited to introduce COLA: Learning Human–Humanoid Coordination for Collaborative Object Carrying 🤝🤖 COLA makes humanoids truly helpful in human collaboration — capable of carrying objects, pushing carts, or responding to human push commands. It provides a proprioception-only policy for compliant human–humanoid coordination across diverse movement patterns. The core idea is simple yet effective: 👉 Fine-tune a collaborative policy from a locomotion policy using a residual teacher. 👉 Train in simulation and distill to a real-world student policy for deployment. Paper: Project:

✨ New AI Interfaces powered by Interpretability I'm excited to share LatentLit, the result of my applied AI research fellowship with Goodfire Mechanistic interpretability isn’t just important for AI safety, it also gives us new ways to steer and interact with LLMs.

Excited to share our latest progress on legged manipulation with humanoids. We created a VR interface to remote control the Draco-3 robot 🤖, which cooks ramen for hungry graduate students at night. We can't wait for the day it will help us at home in the real world! #humanoid

Meet Any2Track, a new two-stage RL framework designed to address a core challenge for humanoid robots: reliably tracking diverse, dynamic motions in the real world. The framework consists of two key components: AnyTracker, a general motion tracker, and AnyAdapter, a module that allows the robot to adapt to real-world disturbances like uneven terrain or external forces. This approach gives robots the stability needed for practical use. The system has been successfully deployed on a Unitree G1 humanoid robot with zero-shot sim2real transfer, performing exceptionally well in various motion tracking tasks under multiple real-world disturbances. Project: Codebase:
