Motion Turing Test

Motion Turing Test (HHMotion)

How to read this picture

People rate how human-like humanoid robot motions look (0-5), using pose-only replays of 1,000 human and robot clips.1

Comparisons with real robots

Real robots5

Details

No policy is run. Humans rate recorded motion of real robots (257 clips) and simulated robots (243 clips). The paper reports simulated humanoid clips score higher than real-robot clips, i.e. a sim-vs-real gap in perceived human-likeness, not a policy-level correlation.
