## Dataset Summary

ChingMu 1000H is an optical motion capture dataset designed for training and validating embodied AI and humanoid robot controllers. It covers full-body skeleton, finger articulation, object 6D pose, multi-view video, and semantic labels across 15+ real-world scenarios (industrial, household, retail, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, performance). All data is cleaned, quality-assessed, and robot-retargeted.

## Data Format Specifications 

| Component | Format | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Raw motion | `.bvh` | Y-up, 120 fps, ZYX rotation, cm, 47–67 joints |
| Retargeted trajectories | `.csv` | Root position (m), quaternion, joint angles (rad) |
| Object 6D pose | `.csv` | Position (m) + quaternion, 120 Hz |
| Multi-view video | `.mp4` | 4–8 cameras, co-registered |
| Semantic labels | `.jsonl` | Task, scenario, action, object |

## 🆕 Open-Source Release: Unitree G1 Retargeted Data   

We are releasing **100 hours** of robot-ready motion trajectories retargeted to the **Unitree G1** humanoid. All data is provided in **CSV** format under the `samples/` directory. **Please indicate the source of the data when using it: from Chingmu.**   

## Quick Start

```bash
pip install huggingface_hub
```

```python
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

repo_id = "CMRobot/MotionDecode"
file_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id=repo_id,
    filename="samples/1.1.Basic_Movement_Category/1.1.1.High_Dynamic_Movement/1.1.1.1.Standing_High_Jump/BM_Standing_High_Jump_00001.csv",
    repo_type="dataset",
    local_dir="./robot_samples"
)
print(f"Downloaded: {file_path}")
```

## Quality & Limitations

**Quality controls:** marker swap correction, gap-filling (≤6 frames), foot skating detection, manual review. Flags: `pass`, `warning`, `fail`.  

**Accuracy:** joint error <1mm, object pose ±2mm / ±0.5°, temporal sync <1 frame.  

**Limitations:** performer age skew (20–35), object accuracy varies with marker cluster size.
