HumanoidArena is a new benchmark of 7 leg-critical HOI/HSI tasks that evaluates egocentric hierarchical whole-body policies in humanoids and finds performance is strongly conditioned on the low-level GMT used.

OmniContact introduces contact flow as a shared representation of body trajectories and contact signals to learn and chain loco-manipulation meta-skills, reporting 98.7% success on box carrying and 76.5% on push-stack tasks.
CoorDex distills privileged body and hand motion teachers into proprioceptive latent priors and composes them via shared-context residual RL heads to enable continuous high-DoF dexterous loco-manipulation.
MotionWAM conditions a policy on intermediate features from a video world model to predict unified whole-body motion tokens, enabling real-time humanoid loco-manipulation that outperforms VLA baselines by over 30% on nine Unitree G1 tasks.
ActiveMimic pretrains on egocentric human video by recovering and modeling active camera motion as viewpoint actions, matching robot-data pretraining performance on real-world tasks.
SUGAR turns diverse human videos into deployable humanoid loco-manipulation policies via automated prior extraction, physics refinement, and hierarchical distillation, showing scaling with data volume and zero-shot real-world transfer on six tasks.
HAIC enables robust humanoid interactions with underactuated objects by predicting their dynamics from proprioceptive history and using a world model for adaptive control.
R&B-EnCoRe uses self-supervised importance-weighted variational inference to distill action-predictive reasoning datasets that improve VLA performance on manipulation, navigation, and driving tasks without external verifiers.
WOLF-VLA creates a dataset of optimal-control humanoid trajectories and trains a VLA model to generate locomotion policies from natural language instructions, with planned open release of data and tools.
VAIC distills a teacher policy into a vision-and-proprioception student policy using recurrent adaptation and decoupled commands, enabling diverse real-robot tasks like box carrying and skateboarding that outperform baselines.
OASIS generates scalable simulation data for humanoid loco-manipulation via 3D generative asset reconstruction and domain randomization, yielding a policy with higher zero-shot real-world success than real-robot teleoperation data.
HANDOFF is a distilled mixture-of-experts humanoid whole-body controller that follows a compact task-space interface, matches SOTA velocity tracking, provides large manipulation workspace on Unitree G1, and supports VLM-driven agentic planning with no task-specific data.
The paper identifies four missing interfaces (data autolabelling, embodiment retargeting, physics-grounded world models, and video-based reward inference) as the central bottleneck beyond VLA scaling for robot intelligence.
A multi-agent large-model framework (Active Spatial Brain + Generalizable Action Cerebellum) enables spatial-aware humanoid whole-body manipulation without task-specific real-robot data.
