Blind Dexterity: Humanoid Walking Without IMU Sensors
Removing the IMU and force-torque sensors cuts cost, weight and failure points in humanoid hardware, which could shape how low-cost robot platforms are designed. Robotics engineers working on balance and control can study the method as a baseline against proprioception-heavy pipelines. It comes out of German labs DFKI and TU Darmstadt rather than a commercial humanoid vendor.
