ExoActor: Exocentric Video Generation as Generalizable Interactive Humanoid Control

- 以第三人称视频生成作为统一接口,隐式建模人形机器人与环境交互
- 无需额外真实数据,可泛化到新场景,生成符合任务指令的行为序列
- 适合研究通用人形智能与具身交互的学者,推动生成模型在控制领域的应用
近年来人形机器人控制系统取得显著进展,但建模机器人、周围环境及任务相关物体之间的流畅交互行为仍是根本挑战。这一难题源于需在大规模场景下同时捕捉空间上下文、时间动态、机器人动作和任务意图,而传统监督方式难以胜任。我们提出 ExoActor,一种利用大规模视频生成模型泛化能力的新框架。其核心思想是将第三人称视频生成作为统一接口来建模交互动态。给定任务指令和场景上下文,ExoActor 生成合理的执行过程,隐式编码机器人、环境与物体间的协同交互。该视频输出通过估计人体运动并由通用运动控制器执行,转化为可执行的人形行为序列。为验证该框架,我们实现了一个端到端系统,并证明其在无额外真实数据收集的情况下可泛化至新场景。最后,我们讨论当前实现的局限性,并展望未来研究方向,表明 ExoActor 为建模丰富的交互行为提供了一种可扩展的方法,可能开辟生成模型推动通用人形智能发展的新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Humanoid control systems have made significant progress in recent years, yet modeling fluent interaction-rich behavior between a robot, its surrounding environment, and task-relevant objects remains a fundamental challenge. This difficulty arises from the need to jointly capture spatial context, temporal dynamics, robot actions, and task intent at scale, which is a poor match to conventional supervision. We propose ExoActor, a novel framework that leverages the generalization capabilities of large-scale video generation models to address this problem. The key insight in ExoActor is to use third-person video generation as a unified interface for modeling interaction dynamics. Given a task instruction and scene context, ExoActor synthesizes plausible execution processes that implicitly encode coordinated interactions between robot, environment, and objects. Such video output is then transformed into executable humanoid behaviors through a pipeline that estimates human motion and executes it via a general motion controller, yielding a task-conditioned behavior sequence. To validate the proposed framework, we implement it as an end-to-end system and demonstrate its generalization to new scenarios without additional real-world data collection. Furthermore, we conclude by discussing limitations of the current implementation and outlining promising directions for future research, illustrating how ExoActor provides a scalable approach to modeling interaction-rich humanoid behaviors, potentially opening a new avenue for generative models to advance general-purpose humanoid intelligence.
