LATENT trains humanoid tennis from human clips

LATENT teaches a Unitree G1 humanoid to rally tennis balls using imperfect human motion fragments instead of full, perfectly labeled demonstrations. The project pairs a paper with an open-source codebase and shows the robot adapting in real time during multi-shot play.

// ANALYSIS

Motion fragments lower the data-collection bar and avoid the bottleneck of recording idealized tennis teleop. The sim-to-real layer matters as much as the latent model, because a real Unitree G1 sustaining rallies is the real proof point. The open-source repo makes the work more than a demo for researchers who want to reuse the tracking and policy pipeline. The caveat is scope: tennis is a flashy but narrow benchmark, so broader transfer to general humanoid tasks is still unproven. The staged release in the repo suggests this is still actively being unpacked, not a finished platform.
