MyoMechanix is a multimodal dataset and framework for action quality assessment that incorporates muscle activity and other physiological signals alongside visual data. It contains over 7,500 samples of 20 weight‑loaded actions from 38 subjects, with synchronized RGB video, 3D pose, sEMG, and additional signals. The accompanying Fitness Knowledge Graph structures expert annotations into relationships among actions, phases, key steps, errors, and corrective feedback, enabling compositional scoring and interpretable assessment through the CUBIST engine. The project also introduces MyoMechanix‑AQA, MyoMechanix‑VideoQA, and a novel MyoMechanix‑Video2EMG task, demonstrating that multimodal sensing and structured representations improve performance, interpretability, and error attribution.

Building capable embodied agents requires not only multimodal perception and understanding, but also agentic capabilities for reasoning about actions, adapting to evolving situations, and interacting with the physical world. In this report, we introduce Hy-Embodied-VLM-1.

arXiv:2606. 30266v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Motion-language agents must possess the bidirectional capability to both understand human movement (motion-to-text, M2T) and generate it from natural language (text-to-motion, T2M).

PhysioAI introduces a clinical knowledge‑guided framework that injects structured physiotherapy knowledge into skeleton‑based action recognition models. By combining graph‑based spatiotemporal modeling with semantic anchors derived from a Clinical Knowledge Dictionary encoded via a frozen CLIP model, PhysioAI improves training of skeleton representations while requiring only skeleton inputs at inference. In subject‑disjoint evaluations, it outperforms existing methods on KiMoRe, Hard‑67, and UI‑PRMD benchmarks, achieving up to 99.03% accuracy on KiMoRe overall.

Artificial general intelligence ultimately requires agents that can reason and act in the physical world. Action models, vision-language-action policies, and world models have advanced this goal, while World Action Models (WAMs) are particularly promising because they connect candidate interventions with predicted consequences.
