contents Humanoid robots deployed in real-world scenarios often need to carry unknown payloads, which introduce significant mismatch and degrade the effectiveness of simulation-to-reality reinforcement learning methods. To address this challenge, we propose a two-stage gradient-based system identification framework built on the differentiable simulator MuJoCo XLA. The first stage calibrates the nominal robot model using real-world data to reduce intrinsic sim-to-real discrepancies, while the second stage further identifies the mass distribution of the unknown payload. By explicitly reducing structured model bias prior to policy training, our approach enables zero-shot transfer of reinforcement learning policies to hardware under heavy-load conditions. Extensive simulation and real-world experiments demonstrate more precise parameter identification, improved motion tracking accuracy, and substantially enhanced agility and robustness compared to existing baselines.
