This research introduces EgoHumanoid-V2, a framework enabling zero-shot transfer of coordinated whole-body locomotion and manipulation skills from human demonstrations to humanoid robots without teleoperation. By combining coarse-to-fine action alignment with visual embodiment reduction techniques, the method achieves task performance comparable to teleoperated data while significantly lowering collection costs. The work advances the field by validating human data as direct supervision for complex robotic policies, addressing a critical gap in current egocentric transfer research.
EgoHumanoid-V2: Human-to-Humanoid Transfer of Coordinated Whole-Body Skills for Loco-Manipulation
arXiv:2609.37181v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Human demonstrations capture diverse scenes and rich whole-body skills without requiring robot teleoperation. Prior work on egocentric transfer has emphasized scene generalization in loco-manipulation under decoupled control, leaving direct transfer of coordinated whole-body skills less explored. We present EgoHumanoid-V2, the first egocentric human-to-humanoid skill transfer framework for coordinated whole-body loco-manipulation. At its core, coarse-to-fine action alignment combines kinematic reference correction with dynamics-aware refinement. It improves end-effector pose accuracy while preserving whole-body coordination. We also use robot-arm rendering and training-time image augmentation to reduce the visual embodiment gap and improve viewpoint robustness. On four real-world tasks, vision-language-action (VLA) policies trained on aligned human data show zero-shot skill transfer without target-task robot demonstrations. Task scores are comparable to those of policies trained on teleoperation data at a lower collection cost. These results support human data as direct skill supervision.
