An AI trained on motion capture recordings can help robots smoothly imitate human actions, such as dancing, walking and throwing punches

Researchers have enabled China’s Unitree humanoid robot G1 to master the art of waltzing by mirroring human movements. For this, a team at the University of California, San Diego, has developed ExBody2,

The result was a humanoid robot able to seamlessly walk, dodge, squat, and dance by copying a human. Robotics researchers aren’t shy about having their machines perform over-the-top stunts. From intricate dance dance routines to impressive parkour moves,
