TRACE: Typed Reference-Aware Conversational Editing for Humanoid Motion Diffusion

Language-conditioned humanoid motion generation enables users to create and refine robot movements through natural language.

Key points

  • We present TRACE, a generation and editing framework for the Unitree G1 humanoid robot built around typed, measurable kinematic quantities.
  • Our insight is to ground generation conditions in paired training motions and editing goals in the current motion.
  • A language model learns to predict support, root, and hand events from motion-derived supervision; their time-aligned encodings complement the original text in a diffusion generator.
  • Gravity-referenced states and trajectory--contact objectives improve kinematic consistency.
