Morphology-Conditioned World Model for Cross-Embodiment Quadrupedal Locomotion

Excerpt

arXiv:2604.08780v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: World models promise a paradigm shift in robotics, where an agent learns the physics of its environment once and then acquires behaviors efficiently. Yet the learned dynamics models at their core are typically morphology locked. In legged locomotion, a dynamics model trained on an ANYmal-D quadruped fails on a Unitree Go1 because it overfits to one robot's embodiment rather than capturing the locomotion dynamics shared across robots, so e
