Humanoid robots, with their human-like embodiment, have the potential to integrate seamlessly into human environments. Critical to their coexistence and cooperation with humans is the ability to understand natural language communications and exhibit human-like behaviors. This work focuses on generating diverse whole-body motions for humanoid robots from language descriptions. We leverage human motion priors from extensive human motion datasets to initialize humanoid motions and employ the commonsense reasoning capabilities of Vision Language Models (VLMs) to edit and refine these motions. Our approach demonstrates the capability to produce natural, expressive, and text-aligned humanoid motions, validated through both simulated and real-world experiments.

  1. From Sign Language Generation to Humanoid Execution: Vision-Language Guided Retargeting with Collision Mitigation

    cs.RO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A humanoid signing pipeline that first cleans SMPL-X self-collisions and then uses a VLM visual critic to refine IK retargeting; collision energy drops on 9 sequences, but VLM benefits are only qualitatively demonstrated.

    cs.CV 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Re²MoGen generates open-vocabulary motions via MCTS-enhanced LLM keyframe planning, pose-prior optimization with dynamic temporal matching fine-tuning, and physics-aware RL post-training, claiming SOTA performance.

  3. DreamPolicy: A Unified World-model Policy for Scalable Humanoid Locomotion

    cs.RO 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    DreamPolicy integrates an autoregressive diffusion world model with policy learning to produce a single scalable policy that generalizes to unseen composite terrains for humanoid locomotion.

  4. Before the Body Moves: Learning Anticipatory Joint Intent for Language-Conditioned Humanoid Control

    cs.RO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    DAJI learns future-aware joint intents from language to enable proactive humanoid control, reporting 94.42% rollout success on HumanML3D-style tasks and 0.152 subsequence FID on BABEL.

  5. Before the Body Moves: Learning Anticipatory Joint Intent for Language-Conditioned Humanoid Control

    cs.RO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    DAJI is a hierarchical framework using distillation and autoregressive generation to learn future-aware joint intents for language-conditioned humanoid robot control.

  6. Toward Seamless Physical Human-Humanoid Interaction: Insights from Control, Intent, and Modeling with a Vision for What Comes Next

    cs.RO 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A literature review of pHHI that proposes a taxonomy of interaction types by modality and engagement level while outlining pathways to integrate control, intent, and modeling for more seamless humanoid-human collaboration.
