Apple Discloses HALO Humanoid Control System Research Progress

涉足具身智能? 苹果披露人HALO系统研究进展!

Summary

On November 4, 2026, Apple's research team submitted a paper titled 'Perceptive Humanoid Motion from Simulation' to arXiv and opened its code. The HALO system, tested on Unitree G1 robots using an M4 Pro Mac mini for inference, employs a three-layer architecture with Qwen models for vision-language understanding and action generation. It achieves 91% average success on single tasks in simulation-to-real transfer but shows reduced reliability (50%) on complex multi-step sequences. The system currently lacks tactile feedback and requires manual prompts for new tasks.
