Humanoid robots waltz with humans using new AI motion tracking software

Researchers have developed a new software called ExBody2 that allows humanoid robots to move more realistically by tracking human motion. This technology enables robots to perform a wider range of tasks and adapt to various environments. ExBody2 uses motion-capture data to teach robots how to replicate human movements accurately. Currently, the focus is on upper-body movements to maintain stability, with over 2,800 movements included in the dataset. The team plans to improve the process of dataset collection to enhance the robot's learning capabilities. Future developments may allow for more complex movements without manual curation of data.
