Beijing Humanoid releases Hi-WBC general whole-body control model on "Huisikaiwu" platform
Beijing Humanoid released the Hi-WBC general whole-body control model on the "Huisikaiwu" platform on November 2. The model combines human motion references with real physical constraints, enabling robots to adjust how they execute tasks as payload, external forces, and terrain change. It uses a continual skill expansion framework based on MoE and policy distillation, Contact-aware Learning that incorporates contact force prediction, and Perceptive Control that introduces terrain awareness.
Why it matters: The original text discloses Hi-WBC's technical approach to handling payload, external force, and terrain constraints beyond motion tracking, offering insight into how whole-body control is moving from demonstrations toward real work.
