HumanoidMimicGen: Data Generation for Loco-Manipulation via Whole-Body Planning

Recent progress in robot manipulation has been largely driven by learning from large-scale demonstrations. For humanoid robot loco-manipulation tasks, however, existing data sources force an unsatisfying tradeoff between trajectory quality and scalability. Real-world teleoperation provides the highest-quality trajectories but requires dedicated physical space and time-consuming scene resets. Simulation offers an alternative way out of this dilemma: it can produce clean, embodiment-aligned data at scale without any physical hardware. In this paper, we propose OASIS, a simulation-data-driven framework for humanoid loco-manipulation. OASIS automatically reconstructs realistic object assets from real-world images using a 3D generative model. Based on these assets, trajectories are first collected through teleoperation in simulation, and then augmented under diverse domain randomizations in a post-processing stage. With the resulting simulation data, we further design a hierarchical visuomotor policy for humanoid loco-manipulation. Extensive experiments on the real humanoid robot show that, under zero-shot deployment, the policy trained on our simulation data achieves higher success rates on most tasks than that trained on real-robot teleoperation data, owing largely to the broad lighting and environmental variations covered by our simulation rendering, which real-robot data fails to capture.

Humanoid foundation models are advancing faster than we can evaluate them. While real-world testing is expensive and difficult to reproduce, existing simulation benchmarks focus primarily on table-top or wheeled robots. A scalable and reproducible benchmark for whole-body humanoid loco-manipulation remains an open problem. To this end, we present SIMPLE, a unified simulation testbed for humanoid policy learning and evaluation. SIMPLE couples the accurate contact-rich dynamics of MuJoCo with the photorealistic rendering of IsaacSim. It provides a large-scale environment comprising 60 diverse whole-body tasks, 50 indoor scenes, and over 1,000 object assets. To facilitate scalable data collection, the framework integrates two data generation pipelines: automated trajectory generation via motion planning and a low-latency VR teleoperation interface. We further integrate and benchmark mainstream humanoid policies at scale in SIMPLE, including lightweight imitation networks, large vision-language-action (VLA) models, and recent world action models (WAMs). Our experiments reveal a strong correlation between policy performance in simulation and the real world. Furthermore, we demonstrate that policies trained on data collected in SIMPLE can be transferred zero-shot to physical humanoid robots under similar settings, providing a robust and reproducible foundation for humanoid robotics research.

From loco-motion to dextrous manipulation, humanoid robots have made remarkable strides in demonstrating complex full-body capabilities. However, the majority of current robot learning datasets and benchmarks mainly focus on stationary robot arms, and the few existing humanoid datasets are either confined to fixed environments or limited in task diversity, often lacking human-humanoid interaction and lower-body locomotion. Moreover, there are a few standardized evaluation platforms for benchmarking learning-based policies on humanoid data. In this work, we present Humanoid Everyday, a large-scale and diverse humanoid manipulation dataset characterized by extensive task variety involving dextrous object manipulation, human-humanoid interaction, locomotion-integrated actions, and more. Leveraging a highly efficient human-supervised teleoperation pipeline, Humanoid Everyday aggregates high-quality multimodal sensory data, including RGB, depth, LiDAR, and tactile inputs, together with natural language annotations, comprising 10.3k trajectories and over 3 million frames of data across 260 tasks across 7 broad categories. In addition, we conduct an analysis of representative policy learning methods on our dataset, providing insights into their strengths and limitations across different task categories. For standardized evaluation, we introduce a cloud-based evaluation platform that allows researchers to seamlessly deploy their policies in our controlled setting and receive performance feedback. By releasing Humanoid Everyday along with our policy learning analysis and a standardized cloud-based evaluation platform, we intend to advance research in general-purpose humanoid manipulation and lay the groundwork for more capable and embodied robotic agents in real-world scenarios. Our dataset, data collection code, and cloud evaluation website are made publicly available on our project website.
