'LATENT' learns tennis skills for humanoid robots from human motion data. The robot can sustain multi-shot rallies, handle ball speeds of 15+ m/s, and showed a 90.9% success rate for the forehand. No onboard cameras or vision models, relies on external MoCap for high-precision, low-latency ball tracking. Paper:

The Unitree G1 is stepping onto the court, demonstrating the ability to sustain multi-shot tennis rallies with human players. A research team from Tsinghua and Peking University developed the LATENT system, which allows the humanoid to return balls traveling at over 15 m/s. By training on "imperfect" motion fragments and applying corrective adjustments, the robot maintains an athletic, human-like style during high-speed play.

Researchers developed a system called LATENT that teaches humanoid robots to play tennis using small pieces of human movement data. It learns basic motion fragments, then corrects and combines them to create natural movements and swings. The system was tested on the Unitree G1 humanoid robot, enabling it to hit balls and rally with human players.

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.

Sports like tennis are great examples of the sort of dynamic whole-body interaction that’s possible with humanoid robots. But capturing examples of fast, dynamic interactions from humans is really difficult. Enter LATENT, which uses lower-quality human data plus reinforcement learning to teach a robot to play tennis, able to complete back-and-forth volleys at a human level. LATENT has three steps: (1) collecting imperfect human data like a backswing, (2) using these to learn a latent action space, and (3) they train a high-level policy in simulation which can compose these actions and execute tennis skills on a robot. Haofei Lu and Yunrui Lian join us to tell us about their method. Watch Episode #80 of RoboPapers, with Chris Paxton and Jiafei Duan, now to learn more!

HDMI (HumanoiD iMitation for Interaction) is a framework enabling humanoid robots to learn whole-body object interaction skills from monocular RGB human videos. It extracts and retargets human poses and object trajectories using GVHMR and LocoMujoco, building reference datasets with contact annotations. The data is used to train an RL policy via robot-object co-tracking. HDMI achieved 67 consecutive door traversals.
