This White Paper provides roboticists and control engineers with a comprehensive overview of how motion planning and motion tracking can be decoupled to preserve professional athletic style in humanoid robots, and why adaptive, speed-aware control is essential for closing the gap between simulation and real-world deployment.
Why combining a professional athlete’s motion style with reliable task performance remains an open challenge in humanoid ball-sports robotics, and how separating a high-level planner from a low-level tracker addresses this trade-off.
How motion data extracted from broadcast video and motion-capture recordings can be reconstructed, retargeted, and physically corrected into reference motions a humanoid robot can safely track.
Why the sim-to-real transition introduces compounding tracking errors, and how training a tracker on randomized execution speeds, paired with a learned motion-speed adapter in the planner, improves robustness on physical hardware.
How this adaptive framework was validated across two humanoid platforms, including full-size, in-the-wild serving performed without any motion-capture system.

Humanoid robots have begun to show real capability in ball sports, but preserving a professional athlete’s motion style while maintaining reliable task performance is still an unresolved problem. This guide examines an adaptive motion planning and tracking framework that learns tennis serving and rally styles directly from broadcast video and motion-capture data. A hierarchical design separates a planner, which generates stylistic kinematic motio…
