LEGO: Latent-space Exploration for Geometry-aware Optimization of Humanoid Kinematic Design

arXiv:2604.08636v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Designing robot morphologies and kinematics has traditionally relied on human intuition, with little systematic foundation. Motion-design co-optimization offers a promising path toward automation, but two major challenges remain: (i) the vast, unstructured design space and (ii) the difficulty of constructing task-specific loss functions. We propose a new paradigm that minimizes human involvement by (i) learning the design search space from existi
