Track-and-Complete: Learning Humanoid Skills from a Single Failed Human Video

Learning humanoid skills from videos typically requires a successful human demonstration, which often demands custom data collection. Although failures have traditionally been treated only as negative examples in robot learning, they can still reveal a usable trajectory prefix before the task fails, as well as the inte...
