LIMMT: Less is More for Motion Tracking
ICML 2026
International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), 2026
A "less is more" framework for humanoid motion tracking: empirically shows that models trained
on a small, carefully curated subset of motion data can outperform those trained on massive,
unfiltered corpora.
Humanoid-GPT: Humanoid Generative Pre-Training for Zero-Shot Motion Tracking
CVPR 2026
IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2026
A GPT-style Transformer with causal attention trained on a 2B-frame retargeted motion corpus,
enabling zero-shot whole-body control for the Unitree G1 humanoid.
HumanTracker: Towards a Comprehensive and Human-Aligned Motion Tracking Benchmark
