PGMT: Perceptive General Motion Tracking for Humanoid Robots
Humanoid motion trackers can reproduce diverse whole-body motions, but their performance degrades on complex terrain where terrain-agnostic references become physically infeasible. We present PGMT, a Perceptive General Motion Tracking pipeline for humanoid robots that learns terrain adaptation from independently selected motion references and terrains. PGMT first learns a general tracking and recovery prior, then incorporates terrain perception through motion-conditioned terrain glimpses that selectively encode regions relevant to the current motion. Terrain-aware tracking relaxation allows necessary deviations from the reference while preserving its motion intent. Zero-shot deployment on a Unitree G1 demonstrates robust terrain-adaptive locomotion and whole-body motion execution over real-world terrain with obstacles up to 37 cm high, while supporting teleoperation, dynamic motion tracking, and fall recovery. PGMT extends general humanoid motion tracking beyond flat ground, providing a unified policy for terrain-adaptive locomotion, diverse whole-body behaviors, and teleoperation in complex environments.
