HumanX just open-sourced a full-stack framework that turns standard human videos into agile interaction skills for humanoid robots. Tested on the Unitree G1 in simulation, it reproduces basketball pump-fakes, shots, and soccer kicks from monocular footage without motion-capture suits. It basically gives developers a way to train physical robot policies directly from everyday video.
Unitree just teased a new humanoid robot nicknamed "Superman" that can hit a top speed of 12.66 m/s and jump 2 meters high from a standing start. With 0.85-meter legs and just over three months in development, the company claims it already beats all human records, with more performance gains expected soon.
Horizon Robotics just open-sourced HoloMotion-1, a 400M-parameter motion control model running at 300 FPS on edge devices. Using an MoE-Transformer architecture, it enables humanoid robots like the Unitree G1 to mimic complex dancing and martial arts kicks without extra training.
Researchers just open-sourced OmniXtreme, a control framework that teaches humanoid robots high-agility moves like backflips, breakdancing, and handstands. A two-stage approach combines scalable simulation pre-training with residual learning to protect real-world hardware. Why it matters: It breaks the generality barrier, proving humanoids can execute complex acrobatics with a single unified policy without wrecking their motors.
Unitree Robotics just unveiled the mass production version of its G1 humanoid robot. Over the past few months, the hardware underwent major upgrades to boost performance, refine its look, and align with factory manufacturing requirements.
