SuperMimic: Scaling Humanoid Whole-Body Control with One Differentiable World Model

SuperMimic: Scaling Humanoid Whole-Body Control with One Differentiable World Model

Summary

SuperMimic uses a single differentiable world model to scale humanoid whole-body control across motions, achieving faster training and lower computational costs. It outperforms existing baselines in both efficiency and accuracy, with minimal failure rates on benchmark motions.

Editorial context

SuperMimic introduces a differentiable world model that enables efficient scaling of humanoid whole-body control by amortizing learning across motions, reducing GPU-hours by over 1000× compared to state-of-the-art baselines.

    GPU, SuperMimic surpasses the return of a state-of-the-art motion tracker baseline trained for 7 days on 128 GPUs. It reduces GPU-hours by more than $1000\times$ and fails on only 25 of 129,514 benchmark motions, versus 179 failures for the baseline. After 9.8 hours on two GPUs, SuperMimic achieves zero failures.
