CoorDex enables humanoid robots to manipulate objects while walking

Researchers have developed CoorDex, a new learning pipeline designed to enable dexterous humanoid robots to perform manipulation tasks while in motion. This system converts high-dimensional body and hand control into coordinated latent residual control, allowing for continuous loco-manipulation rather than a stop-and-go approach. CoorDex has been demonstrated on a Unitree G1 humanoid robot with a WUJI hand, successfully executing tasks such as grasping and carrying a bottle, opening a fridge door, and manipulating cubes while moving.

    CoorDex: Coordinating Body and Hand Priors for Continuous Dexterous Humanoid Loco-Manipulation

    Humanoid loco-manipulation is often simplified into a stop-and-go process: walking to an object, stopping to manipulate it, and then resuming locomotion. It also commonly relies on low degree-of-freedom (DoF) end effectors that behave like an open-close grasp primitive. We introd…
