CAP: Continuously Adaptive Perception-Blind Humanoid Locomotion via Learned Denoising

Humanoid locomotion across complex terrain demands forward-looking exteroception to anticipate obstacles, yet this signal is unreliable in real-world deployment, failing partially and intermittently. Existing perceptive policies often assume that depth observations remain clean and in-distribution, while recent attempts to unify perceptive and blind control typically route or switch between separate sub-policies, leaving recoverable information in partially corrupted depth unexploited. We instead propose CAP, a single-stage humanoid locomotion policy that recovers this signal with a perceptive world-model encoder trained as a learned denoiser to reconstruct clean depth from a corrupted input, together with a co-active proprioceptive variational encoder that supplies depth-free body-state information. A coupled training recipe pairs a depth-noise curriculum on the world-model input with world-model feature dropout on the policy-facing latent, exposing the policy to failures across the entire perception-quality spectrum. In simulation, CAP matches or improves upon perceptive baselines when depth remains informative, and degrades more smoothly than a binary-switching baseline as perception worsens. On the Unitree G1, controlled trials and indoor-outdoor deployments demonstrate perception-robust locomotion under intermittent occlusion, real-sensor corruption, and outdoor depth artifacts.

RFPose-OT: RF-Based 3D Human Pose Estimation via Optimal Transport Theory

This paper introduces a novel framework, i.e., RFPose-OT, to enable the 3D human pose estimation from Radio Frequency (RF) signals. Different from existing methods that predict human poses from RF signals on the signal level directly, we consider the structure difference between the RF signals and the human poses, propose to transform the RF signals to the pose domain on the feature level based on Optimal Transport (OT) theory, and generate human poses from the transformed features. To evaluate RFPose-OT, we build a radio system and a multi-view camera system to acquire the RF signal data and the ground-truth human poses. The experimental results in basic indoor environment, occlusion indoor environment, and outdoor environment, all demonstrate that RFPose-OT can predict 3D human poses with higher precision than the state-of-the-art methods.

RFMask: A Simple Baseline for Human Silhouette Segmentation with Radio Signals

Human silhouette segmentation, which is originally defined in computer vision, has achieved promising results for understanding human activities. However, the physical limitation makes existing systems based on optical cameras suffer from severe performance degradation under low illumination, smoke, and/or opaque obstruction conditions. To overcome such limitations, in this paper, we propose to utilize the radio signals, which can traverse obstacles and are unaffected by the lighting conditions to achieve silhouette segmentation. The proposed RFMask framework is composed of three modules. It first transforms RF signals captured by millimeter wave radar on two planes into spatial domain and suppress interference with the signal processing module. Then, it locates human reflections on RF frames and extract features from surrounding signals with human detection module. Finally, the extracted features from RF frames are aggregated with an attention based mask generation module. To verify our proposed framework, we collect a dataset containing 804,760 radio frames and 402,380 camera frames with human activities under various scenes. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can achieve impressive human silhouette segmentation even under the challenging scenarios(such as low light and occlusion scenarios) where traditional optical-camera-based methods fail. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation towards segmenting human silhouette based on millimeter wave signals. We hope that our work can serve as a baseline and inspire further research that perform vision tasks with radio signals. The dataset and codes will be made in public.
