KinoGen synthesizes robot loco-manipulation reference motions directly via kinematically grounded video generation
ChongZzZhang · x · 2026-10-16
Humanoid skill learning today relies on reference motions captured from humans via mocap or video. Qi Wu argues routing every reference through a human proxy limits scalability and compounds reconstruction errors with the embodiment gap. KinoGen instead uses kinematically grounded video generation to synthesize loco-manipulation references directly for the target robot, presented in a thread.
