Περίληψη: Humanoid robots stand at the forefront of robotics, aiming to capture the agility, robustness, and expressivity of human movement in an anthropomorphic form. The locomotion control of humanoids has evolved from classical model–based methods to reinforcement learning powered by large-scale simulation and now to generative models that produce adaptive, whole-body behaviors, propelling humanoids toward operation in real-world environments. This survey positions humanoid control at a turning point, converging toward a unified paradigm of physics-guided generative intelligence that integrates optimization, learning, and predictive reasoning. We identify three core principles linking these paradigms: physics-based modeling, constrained decision-making, and adaptation to uncertainty. Building on these connections, we provide recommendations for researchers and outline open challenges in safety, accessibility, and human-level capability. These directions represent a transformation from engineered stability to intelligent autonomy, laying the groundwork for humanoid generalists capable of operating safely, collaborating naturally, and extending human capability in the open world.
