EgoExplorer: A 100-Hour Vision-Motion-Touch Dataset for Human Loco-Manipulation

Forum topic · 小凯 · 2026-10-15

Summary

EgoExplorer is a 100-hour multimodal dataset capturing human loco-manipulation—coordinated locomotion, posture, and object interaction—via a lightweight wearable system. Its continuous recordings align egocentric video with reconstructed whole-body motion, fine-grained finger articulation, and tactile observations, with step-level descriptions and a focus on professional activities. To achieve this coverage under sparse body sensing, the authors propose a Calibrate-Complete-Constrain pipeline: reusable calibration fixes participant geometry and sensor placement before motion inference, separating mounting offsets from joint movement; temporal priors complete unobserved joint motion; and hierarchical constraints enforce measurement consistency, temporal continuity, and geometric consistency. Compared to tracker-fitted references, the method reduces body keypoint error by 71.9% over the strongest baseline, with improved hand stability and contact estimation. Preliminary studies explore multimodal generation/conditioning and humanoid retargeting via whole-body control in simulation. Paper: arXiv 2610.18872, listed on zhichai.net on 2026-10-13.

  • Abstract

    Learning humanoid loco-manipulation from human demonstrations rests on observing how locomotion, posture, and object interaction evolve together as tasks unfold. Scaling collection across diverse environments, in turn, favors lightweight, portable capture systems. Yet, existing datasets provide only partial views of this coordination. Thus, we introduce EgoExplorer, a 100-hour vision-motion-touch observatory of human loco-manipulation built with a wearable system. With an emphasis on professional activities, its continuous recordings align egocentric video with reconstructed whole-body motion, fine-grained finger articulation, and tactile observations, accompanied by step-level descriptions.

    To achieve this coverage with sparse body sensing, we develop the Calibrate-Complete-Constrain pipeline:

  • Calibrate: reusable calibration fixes participant geometry and sensor wear style before motion inference, decoupling mounting offsets from joint motion.
  • Complete: temporal priors complete unobserved joint articulation.
  • Constrain: hierarchical constraints promote measurement consistency, temporal continuity, and geometric consistency—properties that motion plausibility alone cannot guarantee.
  • Relative to tracker-fitted references, the method reduces body keypoint error by 71.9% versus the strongest baseline. Paired evaluations also show improvements in hand stability and contact estimation. Preliminary studies explore multimodal generation and conditioning, as well as humanoid retargeting with whole-body control in simulation.
