BeyondRetarget: Learning Executable Humanoid Motions Directly from Monocular Video

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.
