Abstract
Humanoid robot motion learning requires not only task-oriented control policies but also physically feasible and natural behaviors that can be transferred to real robots. However, robot-feasible motion data are often scarce: raw human demonstrations may be incompatible with the robot morphology, open-source clips vary in quality, and simulation-collected robot trajectories still require feasibility checking. To address these challenges, we propose a data-centric training and deployment pipeline that integrates motion data curation, real-to-sim model adaptation, AMP-based reinforcement learning, and sim-to-real deployment. We validate the framework on the Booster T1 robot and further provide preliminary cross-platform validation on Booster K1.
