Geometry-Preserving Human-to-Robot Upper-Body Motion Retargeting from Monocular Video

From the abstract

Monocular RGB video provides an accessible source of human demonstrations for upper-body robot motion, yet video-driven human-to-robot transfer remains challenging because body and hand motion are recovered at different spatial scales, human and robot kinematics differ substantially, and fine distal motion is difficult to preserve across embodiments. We present a geometry-preserving motion-retargeting framework that integrates unified body--hand reconstruction with morphology-independent geometric transfer.
