Chinese firm AgiBot has launched a zero-code robot content platform that programs robots from human motion videos. Combining AI motion capture, cloud-based imitation learning, and multimodal orchestration, Agibot’s LinkCraft platform allows the creation of advanced humanoid robot content.

Developing actions for humanoid robots has typically been a complex, high-barrier process requiring specialised motion capture equipment, algorithmic modelling, reinforcement learning, and extensive engineering fine-tuning.

LinkCraft uses AI-based motion capture, intelligent retargeting algorithms, and a cloud-powered imitation learning framework to automatically convert human movements into robot control strategies. Users can record a video on their phone and upload it, and the robot will accurately replicate the performance.

Agibot has stated that LinkCraft’s motion imitation capability will in future support fine motor control down to individual fingers and offering highly detailed robot performance.

LinkCraft also offers a Voice Performance feature. Users can interact with it in three ways: uploading audio, recording online, or using voice synthesis. Once text or audio is provided, the system analyses the content and employs multimodal large models to generate synchronised robot movements and facial expressions, resulting in natural, human-like performance.

“No programming skills or specialised equipment are needed,” said Zhihui Peng, Co-Founder, President, and CTO of AgiBot. “Simply upload a video of human movements, and LinkCraft handles the rest, transforming real-world actions into precise robot motion effortlessly. With this platform, we’re bringing professional-grade capabilities to everyday users.”
