“This paper solves a critical deployment gap for legged robots — RL locomotion policies trained without safety constraints will eventually step on or collide with real-world objects, and this paper proposes a practical, modular filter that intercepts and corrects unsafe footstep plans in real-time without retraining the underlying policy.”
