Resources

Reference material on human motion.

Technical guides and comparisons written by the team building the motion models. We test what we can test, cite our sources, and say where the evidence stops.

Guides

Explainers on how motion systems actually work — the mechanisms, the constraints, and the failure modes.

Guide

Motion retargeting explained

How motion transfers between skeletons and bodies: what IK preserves, why feet slide, and how character retargeting differs from robot retargeting.

Guide

Human motion data for humanoid robot training

Where humanoid training data comes from, how mocap, video, teleoperation and simulation differ, and where human motion stops being sufficient.

Comparisons

Evidence-led evaluations of the tools and datasets teams choose between. Where a competitor is the better fit, we say so.
