NVIDIA releases SOMA Retargeter motion retargeting tool
Understand this story
NVIDIA releases SOMA Retargeter for adapting human motion to humanoid robots. NVIDIA says human motion is a starting point for teaching humanoid robots to move, but robots differ from humans in proportions, joint structure, and range of motion, so motions cannot be copied directly and must be adjusted with this tool before use in robot motion learning. The tool targets humanoid robot motion learning, and its role is to convert human motion into motion data usable by robots.

- NVIDIA Technical BlogAdapt Human Motion for Robots with NVIDIA SOMA Retargeter
Human motion can serve as a starting point for teaching humanoid robots to move, since human demonstrations capture the coordination and timing behind natural movement. However, a robot cannot simply copy the same joint motion from a human because its proportions, joint structure, and range of motion differ, so the movement must be adapted to fit. NVIDIA's SOMA Retargeter is presented as a tool for this adaptation.
