Innodata opens motion-capture lab to help humanoids move more like people

THE AI ANGLE
Controlling humanoid robot movement and manipulationInnodata opened a motion-capture laboratory equipped with Vicon optical tracking cameras to record sub-millimeter movement data. The facility lets robotics developers train humanoid models using direct 3D physical capture instead of estimates derived from 2D video. Engineering teams can also use the lab to evaluate hardware against external ground-truth measurements.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Engineers must weigh the trade-offs between gathering vast amounts of noisy egocentric sensor data and collecting smaller sets of expensive, highly accurate motion-capture data.Read the original at therobotreport.com Generate teaching or study materials
