  • The paper combines model-based admittance control for manipulation with a reinforcement-learning policy for legged locomotion.
  • The authors validate the controller in simulation and hardware using a Unitree Go2 quadruped with a 6-DoF arm and wrist-mounted force-torque sensor.

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.
