HOVER unifies multiple whole-body control modes for humanoid robots

Oct 28, 2024 · Research Publication · Unitree · Humanoid

Key points

  • HOVER introduces a multi-mode policy distillation framework for navigation, loco-manipulation, and tabletop manipulation control modes.
  • The paper uses full-body kinematic motion imitation as a shared abstraction so one policy can move between different command spaces.
  • It is an important H1 research entry because it points toward reusable whole-body control rather than a separate policy for each task mode.

Company context

Develops quadruped and humanoid robots, with strength in dynamic locomotion, vertically integrated hardware, and relatively low-cost commercial deployment. Unitree is one of the clearest examples of a legged robotics company moving from research visibility into real productisation and broader market distribution.
