Load-Aware Locomotion Control for Humanoid Robots in Industrial Transportation Tasks

Description

Humanoid robots deployed in industrial environments are required to perform load-carrying transportation tasks that tightly couple locomotion and manipulation. However, achieving stable and robust locomotion under varying payloads and upper-body motions is challenging due to dynamic coupling and partial observability. This paper presents a load-aware locomotion framework for industrial humanoids based on a decoupled yet coordinated loco-manipulation architecture. Lower-body locomotion is control
