Target distinction
The page should distinguish robot output from animation output in the first answer block.
ROBOT MOTION
Robot motion from video
Use AIMoCap as an upload-based way to review robot-oriented motion results from source video.
For robotics builders searching for robot motion from video rather than marker suit capture.
Short answer
Robot motion from video in AIMoCap means using source video as input for robot-oriented motion review, not converting a clip directly into robot execution.
When to use AIMoCap
Use it when you need a fast upload/API workflow to compare video-derived motion against robot-output constraints.
When not to use AIMoCap
Do not use it when your requirement is real-time robot teleoperation, direct controller generation, or safety certification.
Robot motion from video is a high-intent query, but it is easy to overpromise. AIMoCap should answer it with a clear boundary.
The product can help create and review target-aware motion artifacts from readable video. The robotics stack must still handle feasibility, control, and hardware safety.
This page focuses on the handoff between a video mocap result and downstream robot engineering.
Robot-motion-from-video facts
- Video-derived motion is an input to robot review, not a complete robot-control stack.
- Unitree G1 is the current public robot target described by AIMoCap.
- Default FBX output remains animation-oriented and should not be treated as robot motion data.
- Source-video quality affects whether the robot-oriented result is useful enough for further testing.
- API workflows are useful when many clips need the same target-aware processing and v-credit accounting.
Responsible robotics boundary
Use these facts to decide whether this workflow matches your output, integration, and cleanup needs.
Downstream owner
Simulation, control logic, and safety validation stay with the robotics team.
Workflow fit
AIMoCap is strongest when the task is asynchronous video processing and review rather than real-time control.
Robot motion from video workflow
01
Choose the output intent
Decide whether the job needs Default animation output, Unitree G1 output, or both.
02
Inspect the motion artifact
Use preview and result assets to check timing, pose intent, and obvious failure cases before robotics work begins.
03
Validate with robot tooling
Run simulation, controller checks, and any robot-specific retargeting outside AIMoCap before considering hardware use.
Common questions
Is robot motion from video automatic robot control?
No. AIMoCap creates motion artifacts for review; robot execution requires downstream robotics tooling.
Can I automate this with the API?
Yes. API workflows can create target-aware jobs and track v-credit usage separately from Studio credits.
Why not just use FBX?
FBX is animation-oriented. Robot workflows need target-aware robot artifacts and validation outside the animation pipeline.
