ViT-H: Generative Video-To-Humanoid Control with Motion Tracking Feedback

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

ViT-H is a video‑to‑humanoid control framework that generates humanoid reference motions directly from monocular human videos using a diffusion model, eliminating the need for separate reconstruction, retargeting, and tracking stages. The system incorporates motion‑tracking feedback to fine‑tune the generator via preference optimization, and an autoregressive variant enables real‑time teleoperation with sub‑400 ms latency. Experiments on the Unitree G1 robot show that ViT‑H surpasses existing reconstruction‑retargeting‑tracking pipelines in motion quality and executability, and its performance scales positively with model size and data volume.

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.
