MuJoCo, Isaac Lab or Gazebo for humanoid work in 2026?
Which simulator do you use for humanoids, for what (RL training, controller testing, sim-to-sim validation, synthetic data), and what made you choose it? Share the friction too: installation, URDF/MJCF/USD import, GPU…

Sim-to-real: what made your policy fail on the real robot?
A policy that walks in simulation and stumbles on hardware is a rite of passage. What was the cause in your case (actuator model, latency, observation noise, domain randomisation, control frequency, sim-to-sim checks…

ROS 2 on a humanoid: what tripped you up in your first week?
Connecting to a humanoid's ROS 2 / DDS interface for the first time? Share the step that cost you the most time (distribution choice, network and DDS discovery, message types, simulation first or hardware first) and how…

Beyond walking: how are you training other skills?
Once walking works, what next: getting up, carrying, whole-body manipulation, motion imitation? Share the approach (reward design, motion retargeting, imitation, teacher-student) and the open-source code you built on.…

Teleoperation for data collection: VR, exoskeleton or leader arms?
How do you collect demonstrations for your robot: VR headset, exoskeleton, leader-follower arms, motion capture? What did setup and calibration involve, and how many episodes did a usable policy take? On…

How this community works
Linked to WBH’s data: threads point to the robots, makers and topics they are about, and those pages show the discussions.
- Members write, WBH sources. Posts are members’ experience, not verified facts; robot specifications on WBH stay source-linked. Report a data error.
- Labelled, never faked. Threads started by WBH say so. There are no invented members, replies or counts.
- Moderated. New members’ posts with links are reviewed first; anyone can report a post. Read the community guidelines.
Community posts are written by members and are not checked by WBH. Facts on robot pages come from cited sources; report a data error to have it corrected.
