arXiv:2507. 19684v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Socially interactive humanoid robots must engage with humans through their bodies, adapting in real time to a partner's movement, intent, and abilities.
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).
arXiv:2510. 08807v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: From loco-motion to dextrous manipulation, humanoid robots have made remarkable strides in demonstrating complex full-body capabilities.
SalsaAgent is a multimodal embodied language model that generates expressive, full‑body salsa follower motions in response to a human leader and music. The approach treats partner interaction as nonverbal token passing, extending a large language model’s vocabulary to include discrete motion, pairwise relation, and audio tokens. A two‑stage token‑to‑diffusion pipeline, combined with full‑body and pairwise‑relation tokenizers and alignment with automatically derived text descriptions of skeleton dynamics, yields improved motion quality, spatial coordination, and music‑partner synchrony compared to prior baselines.
arXiv:2608. 16222v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humanoid intelligence requires learning over an extremely diverse space of whole-body motions and physically grounded interactions.
Reliable evaluation of human motion understanding is fundamental to advancing embodied AI, robotics, and animation. However, existing benchmarks suffer from coarse semantic granularity, undifferentiated difficulty, limited annotation quality, and pervasive answer ambiguity, leaving them unable to diagnose where current models fail.
arXiv:2606. 17846v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models in language and multimodality achieve strong generalization by aligning heterogeneous data under a unified formulation and training at scale.
arXiv:2608.22301v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humans imitate at the level of intent: given a demonstration, we infer its goal and carry it out with whatever tools, objects, and layouts are at han...
arXiv:2608. 13555v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humanoid motion tracking is central to teleoperation and whole-body imitation, yet evaluation often disagrees with what people perceive in videos.
arXiv:2606. 19935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humanoid robots require co-speech motions that are not only expressive and speech-aligned, but also physically executable under embodiment constraints.
Motion-Omni is an end‑to‑end framework that jointly generates spoken dialogue and full‑body motion, producing speech, facial expressions, and hand, upper‑body, and lower‑body movements directly from the hidden states of a language model. The system requires joint training of the language model, speech generator, and motion generator to maintain audio‑motion alignment, and it is supervised using a scalable, model‑agnostic pipeline that pseudo‑labels 422,856 speech‑motion pairs. With a Qwen2.5‑7B‑Instruct backbone, Motion‑Omni‑Q7 achieves near‑cascade performance on motion metrics while being 5.4× faster, and it outperforms other non‑teacher cascades on beat correlation, diversity, and word error rate.
