Movens-Zero: Scaling Humanoid Motion Foundation Models with Large-Scale Human Videos

The paper introduces Movens-5M, a dataset of 15 million human‑motion sequences and 5 million humanoid‑executed motions derived from raw Internet videos, aligned with text, RGB video, speech, and music. Using this data, the authors present Movens‑Zero, a scalable architecture that jointly learns across modalities and supports real‑time closed‑loop execution, enabling motion generation from text, speech, music, and video. They also release Movens‑Intent, a benchmark of 8,192 expert‑verified condition‑motion pairs, and demonstrate that scaling data quality and model capacity improves performance across all modalities.

Being-M0.7: A Latent World-Action Model for Humanoid Robots

Being‑M0.7 is a latent world‑action model that learns from a large mixed‑modality human dataset (over 10,000 hours of video‑only, motion‑only, and paired video‑motion data) to predict future latent visual states and motion. The model is pre‑trained on human data, adapted to robot viewpoints during mid‑training, and then combined with an action expert via gated cross‑attention during post‑training to produce executable whole‑body commands. In experiments, Being‑M0.7 outperforms baselines on the SIMPLE benchmark and matches the best baseline on real‑world Unitree G1 loco‑manipulation tasks.

HAF: Adapting Generalist VLAs to Humanoid Whole-Body Loco-manipulation via Hierarchical Action Flow and Spectral Latent RL

arXiv:2608. 16837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Humanoid robots hold great promise as general-purpose agents in human-centered environments, yet generalist vision-language-action (VLA) foundation models are not readily applicable to humanoid whole-body loco-manipulation.

HAF: Adapting Generalist VLAs to Humanoid Whole-Body Loco-manipulation via Hierarchical Action Flow and Spectral Latent RL

Humanoid robots hold great promise as general-purpose agents in human-centered environments, yet generalist vision-language-action (VLA) foundation models are not readily applicable to humanoid whole-body loco-manipulation. The high dimensionality and interdependence of humanoid motions make it challenging for conventional single-stage VLA architectures to coordinate locomotion, waist posture, and dual-arm manipulation effectively.

SCRIPT: Scalable Diffusion Policy with Multi-stage Training for Language-driven Physics-Based Humanoid Control

SCRIPT is a scalable diffusion policy that uses a Joint Action-State-Text Diffusion Transformer (JAST‑DiT) to jointly encode actions, physical states, and natural‑language instructions, enabling direct interaction between language semantics and control dynamics. The method employs a multi‑stage training framework, including supervised imitation pre‑training, a nonlinear history conditioning mechanism for stable autoregressive control, and a post‑training stage with Reinforcement Learning with Hybrid Rewards (RLHR) that injects learnable noise to improve motion quality and instruction following. Experiments on the 1200‑hour MotionMillion dataset show that SCRIPT outperforms prior state‑of‑the‑art methods across text alignment, motion quality, and physical realism, and its performance scales consistently with model size.

BeyondRetarget: Learning Executable Humanoid Motions Directly from Monocular Video

BeyondRetarget is an end‑to‑end framework that learns to generate executable humanoid robot motions directly from monocular RGB videos, bypassing the need for an explicit human motion representation. By learning robot‑oriented implicit representations and incorporating a contact‑aware motion optimization mechanism, the method captures cross‑morphology motion structures and improves temporal consistency and physical plausibility. Experiments demonstrate that BeyondRetarget achieves higher execution success rates, lower latency, and greater accuracy and robustness in both simulation and real humanoid robots.
