Joga trains humanoid soccer policies in a simulator aligned with hardware perception and actuator data. It models state-dependent ball-detection errors and whole-body joint-command corrections, then finetunes dribbling in the aligned simulator. In a 135° turn test at a 1.2 m/s command, success increases from 3/5 to 5/5; each condition has five trials and success means controlling the ball without falling.
