SPARK: Skeleton-Parameter Aligned Retargeting on Humanoid Robots with Kinodynamic Trajectory Optimization

Description

Human motion provides rich priors for training general-purpose humanoid control policies, but raw demonstrations are often incompatible with a robot's kinematics and dynamics, limiting their direct use. We present a two-stage pipeline for generating natural and dynamically feasible motion references from task-space human data. First, we convert human motion into a unified robot description format (URDF)-based skeleton representation and calibrate it to the target humanoid's dimensions. By aligni
