  • The policy uses only onboard depth sensing and a velocity command to select walking, balancing, climbing, stepping down or vaulting without a runtime skill label, state machine or motion graph.
  • A Real2Sim2Real pipeline expands sparse human-motion seeds across terrain variations, unifies multiple experts and distils privileged geometry into a recurrent depth policy.
  • The same policy transferred without real-world fine-tuning to indoor and outdoor tests on Lightbot 0, including unseen obstacle variations.
