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.

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.
