🔥 News

• [2026.05.22] 🔥 We reprocessed a compliant embodied dataset on our university cluster. In this version, we removed non-compliant third-person source data and, after the full data pipeline, obtained a high-quality first-person robot video dataset with 3M videos, 720P resolution, and 30 FPS. To the best of our knowledge, RoVid-X is the largest robot video generation dataset to date for training physics-aware models. See Dataset | Resources.
• [2026.05.18] 🔥 We release StableVLA. Congratulations on its acceptance to ICML 2026! It is a vision-language-action model for robust robot policy learning. See Docs | Code | Project | Paper | Checkpoint.
• [Next Month] 🔥 We are preparing the open-source release of the HumanNet corpus, the curation pipeline, and the post-training validation code. Stay tuned!
• [2026.05.11]🔥 The HumanNet technical report and project page have been released: Paper | Project.

📑 Todo List

• Release the HumanNet technical report on arXiv. ✅
• Release StableVLA model code and documentation. ✅
• Release RoVid-X on Hugging Face. ✅
• Release a HumanNet preview subset on Hugging Face for early access.
• Release the full one-million-hour HumanNet corpus with metadata and annotations.
• Release the trained checkpoints initialized from HumanNet.

📣 Overview

This repository is maintained as a growing research hub for human-centric video data, embodied learning models, and validation code. It currently centers on HumanNet, a one-million-hour human-centric video corpus, and will also host related models, training recipes, evaluation protocols, and release notes.

The initial core release is HumanNet, a scalable infrastructure for fine-grained activity understanding, motion-aware video learning, and embodied pretraining. HumanNet pairs first-person and third-person footage with caption labels, motion annotations, and hand and body signals, organized by a multi-axis taxonomy and produced by a curation pipeline that treats human-centric filtering, viewpoint characterization, quality control, and privacy review as first-class design choices.

📧 Ethics Concerns

The videos referenced in this repository are sourced from public domains and intended solely to showcase the capabilities of this research. Human-centric video raises non-trivial privacy, consent, and dual-use concerns; any release will follow license review, redaction, restricted-content filtering, access controls where necessary, and clear documentation of what is included or excluded.
