Booster Lab: A Data-Centric Pipeline for Learning Deployable Humanoid Locomotion Policies

Penghui Chen, Tinglong Zheng, Yufeng Zhang, Mingguo Zhao

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.

Data and Learning Where it Matters for Contact-Rich Manipulation

Oliver Hausdörfer, Linus Schwarz, Gabor Marko, Christian Dietz, Timo Class, Luka Hofer, et al.

Learned policies trained end-to-end on large datasets often remain brittle in high-precision tasks and struggle with generalization. We find that these limitations largely stem from a lack of structure and focus in data collection. Our key insight is to leverage dense data collec…

Ordered Action Tokens for Visuomotor Policy Learning

Chaoqi Liu, Yue Zhao, Haonan Chen, Xiaoshen Han, Jiawei Gao, Ehsan Adeli, et al.

Action tokenization maps continuous robot action chunks to discrete tokens and has become an important interface for modern visuomotor policies. Existing approaches either rely on analytical discretization methods that produce prohibitively long token sequences or learned latent…
