Holy…S😳 This isn’t fabric. It’s electronic skin,woven with dense fiber and textile sensors that can detect pressure, touch, deformation, and subtle contact changes in real time. Now imagine humanoid robots covered in it,especially on dexterous hands. humanoids could truly touch and understand the physical world and even humans. (from Shanghai JQ INDUSTRIES )

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 🧠🔥

Unfortunately Frank, Rose, Bob and Gary the humanoids all just lost their jobs to a pair of faster, lower cost, more reliable robot arms. Superhuman robots will beat humanoids for every industrial application with scale.

Amazon is training humanoids to move boxes. Makes sense! OmniRetarget is a data generation engine that enables complex loco-manipulation for humanoids. It uses offline retargeting from human MoCap datasets and augments data from single demos to produce 8 hours of trajectories that train RL policies in simulation, transferred zero-shot to real robots. Amazon FAR is the primary affiliation for the paper:

Turning video into humanoid robot motion! 🤳🏼 Training humanoid robots needs huge amounts of motion data, but real-world capture doesn’t scale. Mocap is expensive, dangerous edge cases are rare, and you can’t ask humans to repeatedly fall or crash. Video2Robot tackles this by converting videos into physics-grounded humanoid simulations. Motion is generated to respect balance, inertia, ground contact, and joint limits, then directly retargeted to robot simulators. One prompt can generate a full humanoid motion sequence, including multi-agent interactions and failure cases like falls or collisions, scenarios that are hard or impossible to capture safely in the real world. The pipeline is model-agnostic and works with existing video generators, making it a practical way to scale data for robots. If robots are going to operate in the real world, they need to be trained on the failures too, not just the perfect demos. Here's the GitHub: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →
