In recent years, graph neural network (GNN) based models showed promising results in simulating complex physical systems. However, training dedicated graph network simulator can be costly, as most models are confined to fully supervised training. Extensive data generated from traditional simulators is required to train the model. It remained unexplored how transfer learning could be …

Humanoid robots have significant gaps in their sensing and perception, making it hard to perform motion planning in dense environments. To address this, we introduce ARMOR, a novel egocentric perception system that integrates both hardware and software, specifically incorporating wearable-like depth sensors for humanoid robots. Our distributed perception approach enhances the robot’s spatial awareness, and …
