Abstract

Humanoid motion trackers reproduce diverse behaviors, but sharing a policy across bodies requires accounting for differences in structure, morphology and dynamics. We present MimicAll, a reinforcement-learning framework for shared whole-body motion tracking across heterogeneous humanoids. A structured embodiment descriptor is encoded into global and joint-aligned conditions, which are combined with observation history and body-matched motion references to predict joint-target offsets. Physics-consistent embodiment randomization, body-calibrated retargeting and heterogeneous simulation support training across 4,096 variants from 16 humanoid families. We introduce a benchmark of 464 bodies across five distribution strata to evaluate motion generalization, within-family embodiment shifts and unseen-family transfer. Controlled ablations show that embodiment information improves motion completion with simple concatenation, while self-attention yields the lowest global position errors. With equal training transitions, shared training achieves 99.4% 30-second success on randomized G1 bodies in 100STYLE, versus 42.9% for a single-body specialist. With Flat-MLP encoding and concatenation, continued training on a motion subset excluding obstacle categories achieves 98.3% and 93.5% 30-second success on 100STYLE for sampled training bodies and out-of-distribution variants within seen families, respectively. On an eight-motion LAFAN1 subset excluding ground and get-up sequences across 464 bodies, mismatched body conditions reduce self-attention's 30-second success from 61.7% to 47.0%, demonstrating a closed-loop benefit from embodiment information.

Any2Any: Efficient Cross-Embodiment Transfer for Humanoid Whole-Body Tracking

Whole-body tracking (WBT) models have become a key foundation for humanoid robots, enabling them to imitate diverse motions with high fidelity. Training such models from scratch requires large-scale data and computation, making rapid deployment on new humanoid platforms costly. This raises a natural question: Can pretrained WBT models transfer across embodiments with minimal adaptation? To answer this question, we propose Any2Any, a paradigm that efficiently transfers an existing WBT specialist to a new humanoid embodiment with only a small amount of data and compute. Any2Any first performs kinematic alignment between source and target humanoids, aligning their input and output spaces so that the pretrained source policy can be meaningfully reused on the target embodiment.Any2Any then performs dynamics adaptation by applying lightweight parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) components to selected dynamics-sensitive modules, preserving useful behavioral priors while enabling targeted adaptation to the target robot. Extensive experiments on multiple humanoid platforms and pretrained backbones show that Any2Any substantially accelerates convergence and reduces training cost compared with training from scratch, while achieving competitive or superior tracking performance. Notably, using only 1% of the compute and data required for full training, Any2Any successfully transfers Sonic models pre-trained on Unitree G1 to LimX Oli and LimX Luna. These results suggest that pretrained WBT specialists can be efficiently reused across embodiments, providing a scalable path toward deploying humanoid whole-body control on new robots.

M3imic: Learning a Versatile Whole-Body Controller for Multimodal Motion Mimicking

Building a general-purpose whole-body controller is essential for enabling diverse motion capabilities in humanoid robots across a wide range of downstream tasks, including locomotion and loco-manipulation. Different tasks rely on distinct motion reference modalities: locomotion primarily depends on coordinated robot joint trajectories, whereas manipulation requires precise end-effector trajectory tracking. Existing methods often overlook the representational mismatch between dense robot joint angles and sparse end-effector poses. To address this, we propose Multi-Modal Mimic (M3imic), a versatile multi-modal whole-body control framework that unifies heterogeneous motion reference modalities, including robot joint angles, human pose trajectories, and end-effector poses, using modality-specific encoders to map them into a shared latent space. Leveraging large-scale reinforcement learning in the simulator, we train a single policy that achieves sim-to-real transfer across multiple motion reference modalities without modality-specific retraining. Extensive simulation and real-world experiments on the Unitree G1 robot are conducted to evaluate the proposed framework. In simulation, the policy achieves a peak success rate of 98.42% on an unseen test dataset, demonstrating its exceptional generalization capability.

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

Tracking large human-motion datasets has become the dominant route to general, expressive humanoid whole-body control, but scaling across many motions is expensive. Current pipelines use model-free reinforcement learning, either merging per-motion specialists through lossy distillation, or brute-forcing a single policy with cluster-scale compute. SuperMimic amortizes learning across all motions with one differentiable world model of their shared dynamics, fit from logged transitions of a standard rigid-body simulator. The world model and the tracking policy train together in one loop, and backpropagation-through-time over short imagined rollouts gives the policy analytic gradients. Fast imagined rollouts and analytic gradients make policy learning efficient. In 3 hours on a single 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 1000×1000\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. From 1 to 264 hours of motion, the world model's prediction error stays stable, and GPU-hours to a target return grow slowly. Our policy transfers to a physical Unitree G1 across diverse and acrobatic motions. SuperMimic removes compute as the bottleneck to scaling humanoid whole-body control, making it practical to measure motion-tracking scaling laws.
