Researchers have developed REACT, a framework designed to enable humanoid robots to engage in complex physical interactions with humans. This system utilizes vision-language models (VLMs) to interpret and transfer semantic contact information from human-human demonstrations to humanoid robots, even when parts of the interaction are occluded. By generating predictions of partner motion from limited egocentric views, REACT aims to improve the robot's ability to maintain interaction and recall contact, as demonstrated on a Unitree G1 humanoid across various scenarios.
