Humanoid stair ascent and descent
Stair locomotion capture with balance-critical recovery data across varied tread dimensions and handrail availability.
This is a custom capture program for humanoid stair ascent and descent across public and residential staircases. We record synchronized RGB-D, IMU, and proprioception through balance-critical footsteps, including stumbles and recoveries captured under safety protocols. Stairs concentrate the contact, timing, and balance failures that simulation struggles to reproduce, which is exactly where humanoid locomotion policies tend to break.
What we collect
Ascent and descent across varying tread dimensions, surface materials, and handrail availability, including clean climbs alongside the stumbles and recoveries that determine fall risk.
Sensors and modalities
Synchronized RGB-D, IMU, and proprioception, time-aligned through our multi-sensor synchronization service so whole-body state corresponds to foot placement and contact.
How capture works
A pilot validates rig placement and episode boundaries, then capture scales across staircases and conditions following our robotics data collection workflow, with safety spotting throughout.
QA and metadata
Episodes carry tread geometry, surface, lighting, handrail tags, and outcome (clean, stumble, recovery). QA covers sync, calibration, and label completeness against agreed criteria.
Who it is for
Humanoid robotics teams training locomotion and balance control. The recovery focus relies on deliberate edge-case data collection, and the program pairs with humanoid home navigation for whole-body coverage.
