Job Description

To create an intelligent humanoid in the 3D world, the first step is to track real human motions in physical simulation. Although human motion capture and generation have been extensively studied in the past, it is still unclear how to let a humanoid track human motions precisely, while keeping the body balance at various terrains. Our goal is to explore this direction, and develop an effective cross-embodiment body and hand motion tracking algorithm in physical simulation.
  • Creating a workflow to transfer motions from SMPL-X to humanoids (e.g. Unitree G1) in simulation.
  • Developing an algorithm to perform cross-embodiment motion tracking.
  • Evaluating the performance of the tracking algorithm.
  • Combining generating motion models (e.g. diffusion models) to the tracking algorithm.
  • Knowledge of PyTorch, deep learning, neural networks, C++.
  • Knowledge of good software development practice, e.g. git, documentation.
  • Knowledge of reinforcement learning and robot physical simulation.
  • Knowledge of SMPL, SMPL-X, or character animation.
  • At least one paper in CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/IROS/ICRA or equivalent.
  • Research experiences both in academia and industry.
  • Possibility of paper publication.
  • 6-months working contract.
  • Flexible remote work with global availability
Diversity isn’t just a statement at Meshcapade, it sits at the core of the company.

About Meshcapade GmbH

Meshcapade is building human understanding models to train AI to see, understand and interact just like real people. We've built the foundational technologies to transport the physical reality of people — talking, moving, interacting with the world — into the digital space. With our human foundation models, we are now developing the world's first and only 3D human behavior engine to power human-like interactions and behaviors for AI agents, virtual beings and humanoid robots.

We are a team of passionate developers, enginners and creators from a variety of backgrounds and we're establishing a new market category for ubiquitous 3D human understanding for AI world models.

Meshcapade was founded in 2018 by Naureen Mahmood, Talha Zaman and Michael J. Black. Based in Tübingen, Germany, within Europe's largest AI ecosystem, Cyber Valley, we are at the forefront of today's most exciting tech evolution.
