Safe whole-body task-space control paper validates hardware experiments on Digit

Evidence notes
- The paper proposes inverse-dynamics whole-body control with exponential control barrier functions for safety-critical humanoid behaviors.
- The authors apply the method to the 3D biped robot Digit in both simulation and hardware experiments.
- It adds a concrete Digit research result focused on safe task-space control, balance, and walking constraints.
Company context
