A Unitree G1 humanoid that keeps its own balance while it maps, navigates, and carries things across a building.
- A learned 50 Hz walking policy owns all 29 motors, with no onboard controller underneath
- Nav2 drives it between rooms; MoveIt plans both arms against a live LiDAR octomap
- A behaviour tree runs pick, carry and place end to end in simulation
- 29
- motors under its own policy
- 50 Hz
- learned balance
- ~10 cm
- LIO drift over 21 m
