GRAIL introduces a fully virtual pipeline for generating diverse humanoid robot demonstrations, eliminating the need for physical teleoperation or motion capture setups. By grounding video world models in known 3D configurations, it successfully synthesizes over 20,000 interaction sequences that enable sim-to-real deployment on hardware like the Unitree G1 with high success rates. This approach directly addresses scalability bottlenecks in training whole-body loco-manipulation policies for humanoid robots.
GRAIL: Generating Humanoid Loco-Manipulation from World Models
arXiv:2606.05160v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Scaling humanoid loco-manipulation requires robot-compatible demonstrations across diverse objects, whole-body motions, and scene geometries, but teleoperation and motion capture are difficult to scale because each collection depends on physical setups, instrumented actors, and robot operation. We present GRAIL, a digital generation pipeline that remains fully virtual until deployment: it grounds video world models in 3D assets and simulator-ready scenes to synthesize interactions without rebuilding physical environments or teleoperating the robot. Rather than reconstructing unconstrained in-the-wild videos, GRAIL starts from fully specified 3D configurations in which object geometry, camera parameters, metric scale, environment depth, and a robot-proportioned character are known before video generation and reused during reconstruction. This privileged setup better conditions 4D recovery, allowing model-based object tracking, human motion estimation, and interaction-aware optimization to reconstruct metric 4D human-object interaction (HOI) trajectories with reduced depth ambiguity and morphology mismatch. We retarget the recovered motions to a humanoid robot and train complementary task-general trackers: an object-aware latent adaptor for manipulation and a scene-aware tracker for terrain traversal. GRAIL produces over 20,000 sequences spanning pick-up, whole-body manipulation, sitting, and terrain traversal. Using only GRAIL-generated data, we train egocentric visual policies through a sim-to-real pipeline and deploy them on a Unitree G1 humanoid, achieving 84% real-world success on diverse object pick-up and 90% success on stair-climbing.
