Humanoids SIG Proposal

That sounds reasonable to me. We have traction of several people.

The Humanoids SIG will work to expand the core ROS capabilities for humanoid robot platforms. Humanoid platforms have bipedal mobility and/or multi-fingered manipulators that have extended capabilities that are not supported by the Navigation and MoveIt pipelines.

I’d suggest that defining humanoids as things that are not supported by the Navigation or MoveIt pipeline is a little fragile and not really what defines a humanoid. For example I’ve seen demos of bipedal humanoids with multi-fintered manipulators using the navigation stack to walk.
