MyoMechanix: Biomechanically-Grounded Compositional Skilled Activity Understanding and Coaching

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.

RoboJudge: Multimodal Language Models as Judges for Embodied Video Generation

The paper introduces RoboJudge, a multimodal language model trained to evaluate embodied video generation. It presents RoboJudge-Bench, a benchmark of 800 human‑annotated videos assessing Physical Adherence and Instruction Alignment, and RoboJudge-Train, a 12K‑video dataset with human‑verified scores and rationales. Fine‑tuned on this data, RoboJudge‑9B achieves the highest agreement with human judgments, outperforming existing models and improving performance on external physics benchmarks.

PhysioAI: Clinical Knowledge-Guided Semantic Supervision for Skeleton-Based Physiotherapy Action Recognition

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.

SOMA: A Benchmark for Fine-Grained Egocentric Behavior and Body-Motion Understanding

SOMA is a new benchmark that tests fine‑grained egocentric body‑motion understanding, featuring 1,632 human‑verified questions across body configuration, motion dynamics, and temporal reasoning. The study evaluates 37 multimodal large language models (MLLMs) and finds that humans achieve 68.5% accuracy while the best MLLM (Qwen3.6‑27B) reaches only 50.0% zero‑shot accuracy. The authors also provide a training dataset and a multimodal baseline to help close the performance gap and highlight common failure modes such as misreading body parts and temporal errors.
