VioLA addresses the scarcity of robot-specific training data by leveraging human motion demonstrations, mapping them into a shared latent space to enable zero-shot generalization across locomotion and manipulation tasks. This approach bypasses the need for task-specific fine-tuning on teleoperated robot data, significantly outperforming existing models like GR00T and $\Psi_0$ in real-world execution without requiring joint-level action prediction.
VioLA: Learning Generalist Humanoid Control Policies from Human Data
arXiv:2610.12435v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Teaching a humanoid to follow instructions with its whole body runs into two obstacles. Its action space is large and tightly coupled: legs, arms, and fingers must move together while the robot keeps its balance, which makes joint-level actions hard to learn. And humanoid demonstrations are scarce, so current humanoid generalist policies do not follow new instructions out of the box and are fine-tuned on teleoperated demonstrations of each task before deployment. Human demonstrations exist in far larger numbers, but a person's motion is not a robot command. We remove both obstacles by changing what the generalist policy predicts. We introduce VioLA, a generalist humanoid policy that predicts body and hand motion latents instead of joint commands. A pretrained body- and hand-controller execute these latents on the robot. Their corresponding motion encoders map human and robot motion into the same latent spaces. A human recording is therefore labeled in the policy's action space, and the training demonstration pool contains 140.6 million frames, 93.2% of them human. As a result, VioLA follows locomotion instructions on the real robot zero-shot, without task-specific fine-tuning, reaching 100% success where GR00T N1.7 and $\Psi_0$ reach 16.7% and 0%, respectively. It also reaches 88.6% manipulation success without task-specific fine-tuning. The same approach works across two VLA and one world-action model backbones. A generalist policy trained on human demonstrations alone performs locomotion tasks on the real robot zero-shot. Code and checkpoints will be released.
