  • Proposes LATENT, a system for learning athletic humanoid tennis skills from imperfect human motion data.
  • Uses motion fragments capturing primitive tennis skills instead of complete sequences, easing data collection.
  • Demonstrates that quasi-realistic data can still provide useful priors for humanoid policy learning.
  • Learns a policy enabling humanoid robots to strike and return balls under varied conditions with natural motion styles.
  • Includes robust sim-to-real transfer designs, successfully deployed on the Unitree G1 humanoid robot.
  • Achieves stable multi-shot rallies with human players in real-world tests.
