Scientists developed HumanX, a system that lets humanoid robots learn new skills by watching just one short human video. It learns directly from demonstrations instead of large datasets or complex training rewards. Using this, the Unitree G1 humanoid robot learned 10 different real-world skills without extra training.

NVIDIA just announced EgoScale 🤖🧠 NVIDIA Research has uncovered a log-linear scaling law for robot dexterity by pretraining VLA models on over 20,000 hours of egocentric human video This massive dataset is 20 times larger than previous efforts and proves that robot intelligence follows a predictable path: the more human data, the lower the loss The secret is a simple recipe combining large-scale human pretraining with a small amount of aligned human-robot mid-training to bridge the gap In testing, this method boosted the average success rate by 54% on a 22-DoF robotic hand compared to policies built without pretraining EgoScale also enables one-shot task adaptation and works across different hardware, suggesting that human motion is a universal motor prior for robots Website: Paper: Source: NVIDIA Research #Robot #Humanoid #Robotics #AI #EmbodiedAI #PhysicalAI #NVIDIA #EgoScale #GR00T

Humanoid robotics is entering a new phase： Xiaomi Robotics 0 (XR-0) explores learning manipulation directly from large-scale human videos — aligning video understanding with robot embodiment to generate executable actions. Watch humans->learn representations ->map to robot control. Robot data is scarce. Internet video is not. If video pretraining transfers reliably into embodied control, the scaling law of robotics changes. Deployment speed becomes a function of model alignment, not just hardware iteration. We’re moving from engineered skills to learned behavior. That’s a structural shift. project:

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. Watch episode 72 of RoboPapers, with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Jiafei Duan, now!

HumanX: a scalable framework that converts single monocular human videos into agile, generalizable interaction skills for humanoid robots without task-specific rewards. Core parts: - XGen: retargets human motion + synthesizes diverse physically plausible training data (via physics-driven object trajectories and augmentation). - XMimic: unified imitation pipeline for robust generalization. Shows promising results for both Blind (no external sensors) and MoCap modes.

We discovered an emergent property of VLAs like π0/π0.5/π0.6: as we scale up pre-training, the model learns to align human videos and robot data! This gives us a simple way to leverage human videos. Once π0.5 knows how to control robots, it can naturally learn from human video.
