SuperMimic: Scaling Humanoid Whole-Body Control with One Differentiable World Model

Tracking large human-motion datasets has become the dominant route to general, expressive humanoid whole-body control, but scaling across many motions is expensive.

Key points

  • SuperMimic amortizes learning across all motions with one differentiable world model of their shared dynamics, fit from logged transitions of a standard rigid-body simulator.
  • Fast imagined rollouts and analytic gradients make policy learning efficient.
  • In 3 hours on a single GPU, SuperMimic surpasses the return of a state-of-the-art motion tracker baseline trained for 7 days on 128 GPUs.
  • SuperMimic removes compute as the bottleneck to scaling humanoid whole-body control, making it practical to measure motion-tracking scaling laws.
