Xiamen University and Others Launch Loose-Clothing Motion Capture Method CLOTHO
1 reports · 1 sources
The HumanPlus Lab at Xiamen University, together with researchers from MIT and CMU, jointly launched CLOTHO, a method that embeds 10 inertial measurement units (IMUs) in loose clothing to achieve full-body motion capture. The paper was accepted to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2026 journal track and will be published in ACM Transactions on Graphics. In the configuration using 10 BNO085 sensors, a single IMU costs about $19. In a robot teleoperation demonstration, the operator wore the capture garment to perform movements, and the system reconstructed the human motion in real time and mapped it to a Unitree G1 humanoid robot for execution; in an eight-hour test, CLOTHO was still able to maintain stable tracking.
