From Festival Video to the Stage: A Sim-to-Real Ladder for Long-Horizon Expressive Whole-Body Dance on a Commercial Humanoid

From Festival Video to the Stage: A Sim-to-Real Ladder for Long-Horizon Expressive Whole-Body Dance on a Commercial Humanoid

Summary

This research presents a pipeline that transfers the traditional Japanese Awa Odori festival dance from monocular video to a commercial Unitree G1 EDU humanoid robot.

Editorial context

The study demonstrates a pipeline transferring traditional Japanese Awa Odori dance from monocular video to a Unitree G1 EDU humanoid using reinforcement learning and kinematic retargeting, achieving multiple rope-free performance durations including a continuous 9.7-minute routine.

    te rope-free performance composed from the captured motion. In a live handover, a single remote request let the robot start from and return to the manufacturer's walking controller on stage, with a measured torque-free window of 45-140 ms. We report the training dynamics and hardware outcomes and discuss failure boundaries involving compliant flooring and occlusion in monocular capture.
