Alibaba’s Amap unveils humanoid model that learns whole-body tasks from human movements

Alibaba’s Amap and Alibaba Token Hub have introduced λ0, a foundation model designed to teach humanoid robots coordinated movement and manipulation using human demonstrations. The system learns from first-person video synchronized with body and hand movements, allowing robots to combine walking, posture adjustments and two-handed operations in longer tasks. The researchers built HumanVerse, a 500-hour dataset of people performing activities in real-world environments.
