SUGARv2: Learning Diverse Visual Humanoid Loco-Manipulation Skills from Synthesized Interaction References

SUGARv2: Learning Diverse Visual Humanoid Loco-Manipulation Skills from Synthesized Interaction References

Summary

This research presents SUGARv2, a framework for acquiring diverse visual humanoid loco-manipulation skills by synthesizing interaction references and using a shared training pipeline. The authors adapt reusable task templates to different spatial configurations to generate coordinated robot and object motions at low cost. By employing reference-based imitation as a common learning objective, they train privileged teachers first, then distill visual policies through reinforcement learning with mimic rewards, leveraging diverse object instances and visual domain randomization for generalization and sim-to-real transfer. Across five humanoid tasks, SUGARv2 achieves a 91.0% mean success rate in simulation and shows successful sim-to-real transfer on a real robot for whole-body manipulation.

Editorial context

The paper introduces SUGARv2, a unified framework that learns diverse visual humanoid loco-manipulation skills by synthesizing interaction references and using reference-based imitation for training; it reports a mean simulation success rate of 91.0% across five tasks and demonstrates sim-to-real transfer on a real robot, though deployment readiness and safety are not independently verified.
