DAWN: Noise-Robust Quadruped Parkour via Depth-Denoising World Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.29092v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-based legged locomotion methods assume clean depth at training time and rely on hand-tuned post-processing filters at deployment. However, filter parameters are rarely disclosed, hindering reproducibility, and performance degrades substantially when depth noise is left unaddressed. Building noise robustness directly into the learning pipeline would eliminate this dependency. While such robustness has been explored for proprioceptive inputs, analogous approaches for depth perception remain largely absent in legged locomotion. We propose D
