Seoul National University Team Develops AI Linking Locomotion and Object Manipulation

TechXplore reported that researchers developed AI for humanoid robots to perform multi-step tasks continuously by combining separately collected locomotion and object-manipulation data.

What happened

According to TechXplore, a research team led by Seoul National University Professor Oh Seong-hwan developed RISE, a framework that separately learns from locomotion and object-manipulation data and enables robots to continuously perform multi-step tasks that switch between the two, without additional demonstration data. The team tested the framework in simulation and on a physical robot. The research was accepted for the 2026 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2026).
