Original abstract

The pursuit of humanoid athletic sprints is hindered by a scarcity of humanoid-viable kinematic reference data and the inability of existing frameworks to maintain stability during sprints. To overcome these limitations, we introduce SPRINT, a novel framework driven by efficient, frequency-adaptive spectral priors. By characterizing the fundamental periodicity of human locomotion in the frequency domain using a reference library of five discrete motion sequences, these priors generate kinematically feasible joint trajectories across a broad velocity spectrum, successfully extrapolating to speeds that exceed the reference distribution. Guided by these pretrained priors, the SPRINT policy achieves zero-shot sim-to-real transfer in field experiments on the Unitree G1 platform, reaching a peak sprinting velocity of 6 m/s and demonstrating seamless gait transitions while preserving biomimetic naturalness. Ultimately, this work establishes frequency-adaptive spectral priors as a highly data-efficient foundation for humanoid athletic sprints.
