Dance with a humanoid robot

From the Unreal to Tangible Reality

In the past, it was always possible to control characters (avatars) within a virtual environment through the use of specialized animation software—albeit with a significant amount of manual effort, as every movement sequence had to be animated by hand.

Motion capture technology offers a substantial improvement in this regard, allowing human movement data to be captured directly via cameras or a specialized suit. In these instances, the result is—for example—an FBX file, which can then be mapped onto virtual avatars using appropriate animation software—a process known as "retargeting."

Thanks to continuous advancements in AI and robotics, it is now also possible to transfer these captured movement sequences onto humanoid robots —that is, human-like robots—via dedicated interfaces.

Thus, the virtual world becomes real once again.
