State Estimation Transformers for Agile Legged Locomotion

Description

We propose a state estimation method that can accurately predict the robot's privileged states to push the limits of quadruped robots in executing advanced skills such as jumping in the wild. In particular, we present the State Estimation Transformers (SET), an architecture that casts the state estimation problem as conditional sequence modeling. SET outputs the robot states that are hard to obtain directly in the real world, such as the body height and velocities, by leveraging a causally maske
