Truly groundbreaking work of the team. It's demoed in UE5.

What is missing to bring real-time motion research into AAA games and real-world robotics?
We present MotionBricks, a step toward bridging this gap with two key components:
- a single generative latent motion backbone covering 350,000 motion skills, running at 15,000 FPS with 2 ms latency and substantially improved quality and reliability.
- a unified smart primitive interface for locomotion, object / scene interaction, with fine-grained control over generated behaviors.

biggest shout out to @SimonYuenNV digital human team and the bones team. Bones dataset laid the foundation of SONIC and Kimodo.
it has been my greatest honor and pleasure to be part of this journey! 🫡🫡🫡🔥🔥🔥

Many have asked what dataset we used to train our SOTA motion foundation model Kimodo and SONIC?

Bones Studio provides one of the highest quality, large scale humanoid dataset that is ready for AI out of the box. Check it out!

Training humanoid robots?
You need motion data. Real, high-fidelity, human motion data. And until now - there was no open dataset purpose-built for humanoid robotics.
For 5 years, we've been building the largest enterprise-grade human motion and behavior datasets for embodied AI. Our data powered breakthrough SONIC research.
Today, at GTC, with @NVIDIARobotics, we're opening a piece of it to the world.
BONES-SEED:
→ 142,200 motion capture animations
→ Up to 6 natural language descriptions per motion
→ Temporal segmentation of every action
→ Curated for humanoid robotics
→ In NVIDIA SOMA and Unitree G1 (MuJoCo) formats
From text to action. Now yours.
Go build → bones.studio/datasets/seed

Need high-quality motion for humanoid robots or digital humans?
Meet Kimodo: our new diffusion model trained on 700 hours of optical mocap data for easy, controllable, and high-fidelity motion generation. @NVIDIAAI

How do you give a humanoid the general motion capability? Not just single motions, but all motion?
Introducing SONIC, our new work on supersizing motion tracking for natural humanoid control.
We argue that motion tracking is the scalable foundation task for humanoids. So we "supersized" it: 9k GPU hours and 100M motion frames.
But tracking alone is not enough; we show how to make a useful control system out of it:
- Universal Kinematic Planner: Enables game-like gamepad control and high-level teleoperation, just like controlling a character in a game.
- VR Full-Body Teleop: Direct, real-time whole-body control by a human wearing a VR headset.
- VR Keypoint Teleop: Control the upper body (hands/head) while our planner handles robust locomotion automatically.
- VLA Integration: We connect this motion tracker to autonomous Visual-Language-Action (VLA) models for autonomous task execution!
We use a Universal Token Space to UNIFY this command space, turning our robust tracker into a general-purpose, programmable humanoid brain.
This is the generalist "System 1" for humanoids. 🚀
