Researchers have developed VLK, a novel method for training humanoid robots to perform complex tasks by generating synthetic data. This approach uses 3D Gaussian Splatting to reconstruct indoor environments and then synthesizes navigation and object-interaction trajectories. The system produced 48,000 data pairs without human intervention, enabling the training of a policy that can predict and execute whole-body kinematic trajectories on a physical Unitree G1 robot for tasks like navigation and object transport.
