LHM-Humanoid enables continuous object transport for simulated characters

Researchers have developed LHM-Humanoid, a novel physics-based control system for simulated humanoids designed for continuous, long-horizon object transport in cluttered environments. Unlike previous methods that rely on short, reset-based clips, LHM-Humanoid enables a single, uninterrupted sequence of actions, including repeatedly fetching, carrying, and placing objects. The system addresses the challenge of transitioning between these actions by learning to recover balance and ensure a smooth continuation from each placement, outperforming existing end-to-end and hierarchical reinforcement learning techniques across various cluttered scenes.

    LHM-Humanoid: Long-Horizon Human Motion Control for Continuous Object Transport in Cluttered Scenes

    arXiv:2508.16943v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Physics-based human motion control can make a simulated character walk, sit, and manipulate objects with high physical realism. Almost always, though, this happens in short, isolated clips that are re-initialized between i…
