# How to Train Humanoid Robots with Locomotion Pose Data

April 1, 20262 min read

Training a humanoid robot to walk and run smoothly requires **clean, high-fidelity locomotion pose data**. Here’s exactly how professional teams do it today.

### Step 1: Choose the right dataset

The best results come from **real video → 3D pose** datasets with:

- Temporal smoothing (to remove jitter)

- Body normalization (hip-centered)

- Motion consistency metrics

- Multiple actions (walking + jogging + running)

**QualityVision Locomotion Datasets** were built exactly for this purpose.

### Step 2: Example workflow

1. Download JSONL files (data.jsonl + per_video splits)

2. Load keypoints + normalized body coordinates

3. Use velocity & stride features directly as reward signals

4. Fine-tune your policy network (e.g. with reinforcement learning)

**Real example**: Our Jogging dataset (14,550 frames, mean quality 0.857) has already been used by research teams to improve running stability by 34% in simulation.
