How can we build a general-purpose “foundation model” for robot motion? Zhengyi “Zen” Luo joins us to talk about SONIC, which uses motion tracking as a foundational task for humanoid robot control, and scales humanoid control training to 9k GPU hours and 100 million frames worth of data. The result: a model with a generally-useful embedding space that can be controlled by a VLA, or from human video, to perform a wide variety of humanoid whole-body-control tasks, including with zero-shot transfer to previously unseen motions.

Jason Ma reveals the first true scaling law in robotics: robots trained on 1 million hours of first-person human video predictably get better without ever seeing robot data "Yesterday we announced our new flagship robot foundation model called Dyna-2. It's very significant for the entire field for many different reasons. First of all, it's the first robot foundation model trained on at least one million hours of data. That in itself is a very challenging infrastructure challenge." "What we demonstrated is that even if the one million hours of data is entirely first-person video of humans doing manipulation tasks, we actually see scaling law for transferring to robot embodiments that the model has never seen before." "By training on more human data, we actually see predictable performance improvement on robots. That's a big deal because the biggest challenge facing robot foundation models is that we don't have enough data." "Unlike language models, there are just not enough robotics data out there, and it's very difficult to collect these robot data. Only by passively observing humans doing things can we scale this kind of data, and this is the first time we showed there is a lot of improvement that can transfer." Jason Ma Dyna Robotics

Today we are introducing Dyna-2, a world-action model pre-trained on one million hours of human video. At this scale, for the first time, we discovered several new scaling laws: • world-action models exhibit scaling law on human data across four orders of magnitude, from 1000 to 1,000,000 hours, • this human data scaling law implied a scaling law on never seen robot data, • both data and objective matter; world modeling and scaling on video data are essential for cross-embodiment scaling transfer to emerge 🧵

The problem with humanoid teleoperation is that it is expensive and difficult to scale Enter NVIDIA's EgoScale: - A VLA model pretrained on thousands hours of egocentric human videos. - Mid-trained via 50 hours of human + 4 hours of robot "play" data for human-robot alignment. - Fine-tuned with very few examples of task-specific robot teleoperation (100 or fewer per task). - Successfully transfers across 5-finger (Sharpa) and 3-finger (Unitree G1) robot hands. - Performance scales predictably as data increases.

Full-body joint tracking + smart gloves capture every nuance of human motion, which is retargeted in real-time to a humanoid robot (here, Tesla Optimus) for smooth teleoperation. This is the power of inertial motion capture. More than control, mocap is the gold standard for collecting high-fidelity humanoid training data. Advanced AI algorithms transform raw accelerometer streams into precise 3D joint poses, turning human movement into lifelike robot action.

How do you give a humanoid the general motion capability? Not just single motions, but all motion? Introducing SONIC, our new work on supersizing motion tracking for natural humanoid control. We argue that motion tracking is the scalable foundation task for humanoids. So we "supersized" it: 9k+ GPU hours and 100M+ motion frames. But tracking alone is not enough; we show how to make a useful control system out of it: - Universal Kinematic Planner: Enables game-like gamepad control and high-level teleoperation, just like controlling a character in a game. - VR Full-Body Teleop: Direct, real-time whole-body control by a human wearing a VR headset. - VR Keypoint Teleop: Control the upper body (hands/head) while our planner handles robust locomotion automatically. - VLA Integration: We connect this motion tracker to autonomous Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous task execution! We use a Universal Token Space to UNIFY this command space, turning our robust tracker into a general-purpose, programmable humanoid brain. This is the generalist "System 1" for humanoids. 🚀 Project: #Humanoids #Robotics #AI #FoundationModels #NVIDIAResearch 🧠🔥
