PressMimic: Pressure-Guided Motion Capture and Control for Humanoid Robot Imitation

Humanoid motion imitation requires not only accurate perception of human kinematics but also faithful reproduction of physical interactions with the environment. However, existing pipelines rely primarily on vision-based motion capture and kinematic imitation, largely ignoring contact dynamics, leading to artifacts such as foot sliding, floor penetration, and unstable behaviors.
