# Humanoid robots lack a generalized multimodal occupancy perception system that can handle diverse environments and sensor modalities.

**Domain**: `Perception_Vision`

## Fix

Propose a multimodal occupancy perception system that fuses vision, depth, and other sensor data into a unified occupancy representation for humanoid robots.

## Anti-pattern

Existing occupancy perception methods are often unimodal or not designed for humanoid platforms, leading to poor generalization.

## Cross-domain analogies

- **Planning_Decision** → Use progressive 3D Gaussian splatting to build a unified multimodal occupancy field for humanoid perception.
  - related fix: Integrate 3D Gaussian Splatting scene representation, Progressive Three-Stage Training Framework, and Geometric Safety Correction Module for collision-free command generation.
- **Learning_Training** → Use closed-loop verification with dual back-translation to enforce multimodal occupancy consistency.
  - related fix: Train a Transformer-based Speaker jointly with a Listener in a Double Back-Translation loop, where the Speaker generates instructions from paths and the Listener reconstructs paths from instructions, enforcing instruction-path consistency through iterative refinement.
- **Control_Locomotion** → Train a single end-to-end policy with domain randomization across multimodal sensor inputs.
  - related fix: Train a single reinforcement-learning-based policy that directly maps noisy depth images to motor commands, using domain randomization and sim-to-real transfer to handle sensor artifacts and actuation imprecision.
