Abstract

Humanoid whole-body control has made significant progress in recent years, yet existing approaches remain limited to few-skill policies with heavy reward engineering, or motion trackers that are difficult to extend to new input modalities. We argue that the key to general-purpose humanoid control is to build a scalable brain, a module capable of reasoning with diverse conditioning modalities, atop a reactive motion tracking cerebellum, mirroring the hierarchical structure of biological motor systems. Two challenges arise in realizing this vision: acquiring a vast amount of high-quality data to achieve general purpose control, and equipping the generator with the capability to condition on compositional, extensible multi-modal inputs. We present OMG, which addresses these challenges with a meticulous data curation, filtering and labeling pipeline, as well as a diffusion-based motion generation backbone that conditions on language, audio, and human reference motions. Extensive experiments validate OMG as an omni-modal whole-body controller exhibiting state-of-the-art performance, model scaling behavior and efficient adaptation to new distributions and modalities, marking a concrete step toward foundation models for humanoid robots.

EgoPriMo: Egocentric Motion Generation for Interactive Humanoid Control

Humanoid robots require whole-body motions that adapt to scene context, task requirements, and user intent. Motion tracking reproduces specified trajectories, and humanoid vision-language-action systems provide semantic interfaces, but neither offers a scalable and interactive prior for broad full-body behavior. We introduce EgoPriMo (Egocentric Motion Prior for Humanoid Robots), a unified framework that learns such priors from egocentric human demonstrations. Given egocentric observations and a text prompt, EgoPriMo reconstructs, generates, and forecasts SMPL-based full-body motion. Language is used as a high-level control signal rather than a complete motion specification. At the core of EgoPriMo is a Triple-stream DiT that jointly models body dynamics, egocentric visual context, and text; task-conditioning masks route different tasks and missing-modality data through the same checkpoint. Experiments on Nymeria and EgoExo4D show that one checkpoint improves egocentric motion generation over UniEgoMotion while supporting reconstruction and forecasting; the generated SMPL motions can also be executed by a Unitree humanoid controller. These results indicate a practical path from scalable egocentric observations to generalizable and interactive humanoid motion priors.

AnyMo: Scaling Any-Modality Conditional Motion Generation with Masked Modeling

Conditional human motion generation remains a fundamental challenge in computer vision and robotics. Despite significant progress, current methods are often constrained by fixed modality configurations and task-specific architectures, leaving cross-modal interactions and the scaling laws of multimodal-conditioned synthesis largely underexplored. A key bottleneck is the scarcity of large-scale modality-aligned motion data, limiting generalization across diverse control signals. In this work, we introduce OmniHuMo, a large-scale, high-quality dataset comprising over 5,000 hours of motion and 3.2 million sequences with precisely aligned multimodal annotations (e.g., text, speech, music, and trajectory). Leveraging OmniHuMo, we propose AnyMo, a unified multimodal framework combining a Residual FSQ-based motion tokenizer with a scalable masked modeling transformer, enabling high-quality motion synthesis under arbitrary modality combinations. Extensive experiments show that AnyMo achieves high-fidelity synthesis while offering flexible control over both spatial and stylistic attributes.

Humanoid-GPT: Scaling Data and Structure for Zero-Shot Motion Tracking

We introduce Humanoid-GPT, a GPT-style Transformer with causal attention trained on a billion-scale motion corpus for whole-body control. Unlike prior shallow MLP trackers constrained by scarce data and an agility-generalization trade-off, Humanoid-GPT is pre-trained on a 2B-frame retargeted corpus that unifies all major mocap datasets with large-scale in-house recordings. Scaling both data and model capacity yields a single generative Transformer that tracks highly dynamic behaviors while achieving unprecedented zero-shot generalization to unseen motions and control tasks. Extensive experiments and scaling analyses show that our model establishes a new performance frontier, demonstrating robust zero-shot generalization to unseen tasks while simultaneously tracking highly dynamic and complex motions.
