Human egocentric video is a scalable supervision source for humanoid policy learning, but current pipelines struggle with hand-object occlusion, oversimplified motion, or specialized capture hardware. We introduce AgenticFocus, a Mixed Reality synthesis pipeline that converts ordinary first-person-view human videos into robot-trainable demonstrations by restoring occluded object geometry, reconstructing full-hand motion, and retargeting it to a humanoid embodiment through camera-relative alignment and layered compositing. The resulting dataset pairs focused visual observations with synchronized robot actions and states. AgenticFocus achieves lower trajectory error and smoother wrist motion than cross-embodiment baselines, with SPARC scores of -5.18 versus -5.56 and -6.05.

A Minimalist Retargeting-Guided Reinforcement Learning Recipe for Dexterous Manipulation

Yunhai Feng, Natalie Leung, Jiaxuan Wang, Lujie Yang, Haozhi Qi, Preston Culbertson

Recent work in humanoid whole-body control has found success with a simple recipe: retarget human motion to robot kinematic references, then train policies via reinforcement learning (RL) to track them. But how does this recipe transfer to dexterous manipulation? The answer is no…
