Can a Robot Walk the Robotic Dog: Triple-Zero Collaborative Navigation for Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Systems

Robotics 2026-03-30 v2 Multiagent Systems

Abstract

We present Triple Zero Path Planning (TZPP), a collaborative framework for heterogeneous multi-robot systems that requires zero training, zero prior knowledge, and zero simulation. TZPP employs a coordinator--explorer architecture: a humanoid robot handles task coordination, while a quadruped robot explores and identifies feasible paths using guidance from a multimodal large language model. We implement TZPP on Unitree G1 and Go2 robots and evaluate it across diverse indoor and outdoor environments, including obstacle-rich and landmark-sparse settings. Experiments show that TZPP achieves robust, human-comparable efficiency and strong adaptability to unseen scenarios. By eliminating reliance on training and simulation, TZPP offers a practical path toward real-world deployment of heterogeneous robot cooperation.
