FootQuery: Future-Touchdown-Guided Retrieval from Depth History for Perceptive Humanoid Locomotion

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 18, 2026 · UTC

Humanoid locomotion over complex terrain requires anticipating footholds that may no longer be visible at touchdown. Limited camera coverage and self-occlusion make it necessary to retrieve relevant terrain information from earlier observations. We present FootQuery, a perceptive locomotion framework that queries depth history using each foot's predicted next touchdown. The policy predicts touchdown locations and uncertainty from proprioception and uses these distributions, together with per-foot features, to query sparsely sampled historical depth frames. During training, realized contacts ar
