Abstract (arXiv)
In this report, we present HoloMotion-1, a humanoid motion foundation model for zero-shot whole-body motion tracking. A key innovation of HoloMotion-1 is to scale control-policy training with a large-scale hybrid motion corpus, where video-reconstructed motions from in-the-wild videos provide the dominant source of motion diversity, while curated motion-capture and in-house motion data provide higher-fidelity supervision and deployment-oriented coverage. This data regime enables HoloMotion-1 to move beyond conventional MoCap-only training and exposes the policy to substantially broader behaviors, capture conditions, and motion styles. Learning from such heterogeneous data introduces new challenges, including reconstruction noise, source-domain mismatch, uneven motion quality, and the need for temporal modeling under large behavioral variation. To address these challenges, HoloMotion-1 integrates large-capacity temporal modeling, a sparsely activated Mixture-of-Experts Transformer with KV-cache inference for real-time control, and a sequence-level training strategy that improves learning efficiency on extended motion sequences. Extensive experiments on multiple unseen motion benchmarks show that HoloMotion-1 generalizes robustly across diverse motion types and capture conditions, significantly improves tracking accuracy over prior methods, and transfers directly to a real humanoid robot without task-specific fine-tuning.
