A renowned motion capture actress managed to control six humanoid robots in real time, replicating each of her movements. The demonstration took place during a technology event in Shanghai and quickly caught attention on social media.
The star of the show was Xixiyu Sakana, a popular Chinese artist specialized in motion capture. During the presentation, she even executed movements associated with the famous "Torture Dance" from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, a reference that sparked the interest of anime and technology fans.
How she managed to control six humanoid robots at the same time
The artist used a motion capture suit equipped with special markers that are tracked by cameras in real time.
The system records every body movement, transforms that information into digital data, and then an artificial intelligence converts that data into commands that the robots execute in a synchronized manner.
The humanoids used were Unitree G1 units, one of the most advanced robotic platforms developed by the Chinese company Unitree.
The technology behind the demonstration
The exhibition was part of an event organized in Shanghai by the technology company CHINGMU along with the American processor manufacturer AMD.
According to the organizers, the system was capable of performing three-dimensional reconstruction, marker identification, and digital skeleton resolution with a latency of less than 12 milliseconds. The infrastructure included:
76 optical motion capture cameras.
Approximately 5,300 body markers.
