REACH: An RL-based hierarchical humanoid crawling framework for confined-space traversal

REACH is an RL-based hierarchical framework that enables a Unitree G1 humanoid robot to traverse height-constrained environments through variable-height bipedal walking and crawling. Its policies regulate body height over complementary command ranges: 1.27–0.50m for bipedal walking and 0.50–0.20m for crawling, and a bidirectional transition policy connects crouched walking and crawling. The framework also combines a LiDAR planner that converts point clouds into collision-free three-dimensional paths and locomotion commands. Real-world experiments validated height and speed tracking, terrain traversal, mode switching, and confined-space traversal; the code and videos have been released.
