HumanEgo is a framework that enables zero‑shot robot learning from short egocentric human videos by converting each demonstration into an entity‑level hand‑object interaction representation and training a flow‑matching policy with dense auxiliary objectives. The method is robot‑data‑free, hardware‑agnostic, and data‑efficient, achieving 92.5 % success on four real‑world tasks with only 30 minutes of human video per task and outperforming matched‑time robot teleoperation by 41 %. HumanEgo also robustly transfers zero‑shot across new robots, cameras, and environments, and is released as an open‑source tool for learning robot policies directly from human data.

ULTRA is a unified framework for autonomous humanoid whole-body locomotion and manipulation that overcomes limitations of prior methods by combining a physics-driven neural retargeting algorithm with a multimodal controller. The retargeting algorithm translates large-scale motion capture data into physically plausible humanoid motions, while the controller learns to handle both dense motion references and sparse task specifications using a range of sensory inputs, from accurate motion-capture states to noisy egocentric vision. In simulation and on a real Unitree G1 humanoid, ULTRA demonstrates improved generalization and robustness, enabling coordinated whole-body behavior from sparse intent without relying on test-time reference motions.

Robotic manipulation with dexterous hands is a cornerstone of Embodied AI, yet its progress is stifled by the high cost of collecting embodiment-aware teleoperation data. While abundant egocentric videos of human hands offer a scalable alternative, the profound discrepancies in appearance, articulation, and camera viewpoints between human and robotic data raise significant challenges for co-training.
