HuMI: Humanoid Whole-Body Manipulation from Humanoid-Free Demonstrations

HuMI: Humanoid Whole-Body Manipulation from Humanoid-Free Demonstrations

Summary

This paper introduces HuMI, a framework for learning whole-body manipulation tasks using data collected without humanoids. The method captures rich motion data via portable hardware to train hierarchical models that translate human motions into humanoid skills. Experiments on five tasks show improved data collection efficiency and performance in unseen environments.

Editorial context

The authors present a framework that claims to achieve a 3x increase in data collection efficiency compared to teleoperation and a 70% success rate in unseen environments, though these metrics are based on experiments across five specific tasks described in the abstract.

arXiv:2602.06643v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Current approaches for humanoid whole-body manipulation, primarily relying on teleoperation or visual sim-to-real reinforcement learning, are hindered by hardware logistics and complex reward engineering. Consequently, demonstrated autonomous skills remain limited and are typically restricted to controlled environments. In this paper, we present the Humanoid Manipul
