Booster Lab: A Data-Centric Pipeline for Learning Deployable Humanoid Locomotion Policies

Penghui Chen, Tinglong Zheng, Yufeng Zhang, Mingguo Zhao

Humanoid robot motion learning requires not only task-oriented control policies but also physically feasible and natural behaviors that can be transferred to real robots. However, robot-feasible motion data are often scarce: raw human demonstrations may be incompatible with the robot morphology, open-source clips vary in quality, and simulation-collected robot trajectories still require feasibility checking. To address these challenges, we propose a data-centric training and deployment pipeline that integrates motion data curation, real-to-sim model adaptation, AMP-based reinforcement learning, and sim-to-real deployment. We validate the framework on the Booster T1 robot and further provide preliminary cross-platform validation on Booster K1.

Learning from Mistakes: Rollout-Retrieval Lifelong Policy Learning for Autonomous Driving

Cheng Gong, Haoyang Wang, Chao Lu, Zirui Li, Jianwei Gong

Autonomous driving policies should be able to improve continually as deployment exposes them to increasingly diverse and long-tail traffic situations. However, most learning-based policies are trained or fine-tuned on expert demonstrations and then rely largely on generalization…

Continual Robot Policy Learning via Variational Neural Dynamics

Robots deployed in the real world rarely operate under a single fixed dynamics model: wind changes, payloads vary, batteries drain, contacts shift, and hardware wears. Yet most learning-based controllers are trained once and deployed as if learning were complete. This prevents th…
