Learning Roller-Skating Motions of Humanoid Robots Based on Adversarial Motion Priors

Yunkang Cheng, Yutong Wu, Menghan Li, Shihe Zhou, Mingguo Zhao

Humanoid roller-skating is difficult because the robot must coordinate whole-body balance, rolling contacts, and velocity-dependent posture regulation. This paper presents an adversarial motion prior based reinforcement learning framework for two humanoid roller-skating gaits: Pump Glide skating and Push Glide skating. The two gait datasets are collected independently through motion capture and retargeted to the humanoid robot separately. The retargeted data are then smoothed and resampled into reference motion states for AMP training. The two gaits are learned by independent AMP training pipelines with separate reference datasets, separate policies, and independent reward architectures. Simulation experiments are designed to evaluate gait quality, velocity tracking, turning, and gait-specific reward ablations.

ADP: Adversarial Dynamics Priors for Physically Grounded Humanoid Locomotion

Seokju Lee, Jeongtae Lee, Jeonghyeok Lim, Jeonguk Kang, Byungwook Lee, Seungho Han, et al.

In this paper, we propose Adversarial Dynamics Priors (ADP) for perturbation-resilient humanoid locomotion control. Existing motion prior-based methods induce natural motion styles by imitating kinematic motion features, but they do not directly regularize dynamics features, such…
