However, this motion requires highly coordinated whole-body movement and precise timing control for bar grasping and release. As a result, achieving robust behavior on life-sized robotic platforms remains challenging. In this study, we present a reinforcement learning-based method to realize brachiation on a life-sized dual-arm robot. The core of the proposed approach is Waypoint-Guided Reinforcement Learning (WGRL), a learning framework for inducing non-linear and complex motions. For high-difficulty tasks where imitation learning data are unavailable, WGRL guides behavior acquisition by sparsely specifying waypoints for the end-effector trajectory, while whole-body motion is generated through reinforcement learning. In addition, by integrating the waypoint-following guidance with rewards based on task success and mechanical energy, and training in an environment designed for Sim-to-Real transfer, the proposed method achieves both forward progression and motion stability. The acquired behavior is evaluated through Sim-to-Sim experiments under monkey-bar environments with geometric variations and hardware experiments, confirming robust brachiation including failure recovery behavior. This study provides effective learning design guidelines for realizing arm-based locomotion on life-sized robotic hardware and expanding the traversable workspace of robots.
