The field of robotics is moving towards embodiment-aware systems, where robots can adapt to different environments and tasks by integrating intelligent control and adaptive morphology. This approach enables robots to operate effectively in diverse real-world environments and to optimize their performance within task-specific and resource-constrained contexts. Recent research has focused on developing co-design methodologies that allow robots to iteratively adapt both their form and behavior, inspired by biological evolution. Another key area of research is the development of scalable whole-body humanoid manipulation systems, which can transfer human motion to whole-body humanoid data and minimize the embodiment gap between the human demonstrator and the robot. Noteworthy papers in this area include UMI-on-Air, which proposes an embodiment-aware diffusion policy for aerial manipulation tasks, and HumanoidExo, which introduces a novel system for transferring human motion to whole-body humanoid data. Additionally, LapSurgie presents a humanoid-robot-based laparoscopic teleoperation framework, demonstrating the potential of humanoid robots in surgical procedures.
