HOTICE: Whole-Body Humanoid Object Transportation in Cluttered Environments

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Object transportation is a fundamental capability for humanoid robots operating in real-world, human-centric environments, yet existing methods struggle when clutter constrains free space around both the robot and its carried payload. We present HOTICE, a whole-body humanoid learning framework for transporting objects through such cluttered environments. First, we introduce Humanoid-Object Decoupled Potential Fields, which jointly encode collision-avoidance guidance for the robot and the carried object, enabling coordinated, obstacle-aware motion for both. Second, to address the large action s
