由于生物结构与机械结构的根本差异,实现类人运动仍是足式机器人的挑战。尽管模仿学习成为生成自然机器人动作的有前途方法,但简单复制关节角度轨迹无法捕捉人类运动的本质原理。本文提出一种步态分歧分析框架(GDAF),可系统量化人类与双足机器人之间的运动学与动力学差异。研究在28种行走速度下系统比较了人类与人形机器人运动。为支持可复现分析,我们从先进的人形控制器中采集并发布了一个连续速度的人形运动数据集。同时提供开源的GDAF实现,包含分析、可视化及基于MuJoCo的工具,支持定量、可解释且可复现的人形运动生物力学分析。结果表明,尽管现代人形控制器生成的运动外观类人,但在不同速度下仍存在显著的生物力学差异。机器人在步态对称性、能量分布与关节协调方面表现出系统性偏差,说明其运动生物力学保真度与能量效率仍有巨大提升空间。本工作为评估人形运动提供了量化基准,并提供数据与多功能工具,助力开发更类人、更高效的运动控制器。数据与代码将在论文被接受后公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
It remains challenging to achieve human-like locomotion in legged robots due to fundamental discrepancies between biological and mechanical structures. Although imitation learning has emerged as a promising approach for generating natural robotic movements, simply replicating joint angle trajectories fails to capture the underlying principles of human motion. This study proposes a Gait Divergence Analysis Framework (GDAF), a unified biomechanical evaluation framework that systematically quantifies kinematic and kinetic discrepancies between humans and bipedal robots. We apply GDAF to systematically compare human and humanoid locomotion across 28 walking speeds. To enable reproducible analysis, we collect and release a speed-continuous humanoid locomotion dataset from a state-of-the-art humanoid controller. We further provide an open-source implementation of GDAF, including analysis, visualization, and MuJoCo-based tools, enabling quantitative, interpretable, and reproducible biomechanical analysis of humanoid locomotion. Results demonstrate that despite visually human-like motion generated by modern humanoid controllers, significant biomechanical divergence persists across speeds. Robots exhibit systematic deviations in gait symmetry, energy distribution, and joint coordination, indicating that substantial room remains for improving the biomechanical fidelity and energetic efficiency of humanoid locomotion. This work provides a quantitative benchmark for evaluating humanoid locomotion and offers data and versatile tools to support the development of more human-like and energetically efficient locomotion controllers. The data and code will be made publicly available upon acceptance of the paper.
