Can we make robot dance?

Ever wondered if you could make a robot mirror your every move using just your laptop camera? Get ready to see it happen! In this talk, we’ll dive into how simple 2D webcam footage can be transformed into precise 3D movements that a humanoid robot can follow. The fascinating part? This isn’t science fiction – it’s working right now using computer vision and pose estimation techniques. We’ll demonstrate the entire pipeline, from capturing human motion to making the robot move, all running smoothly on a standard M1 Pro laptop. Come explore how we bridged the gap between 2D imagery and 3D robotics, making complex motion control accessible without specialized hardware.
