+# Habitat Humanoids
+
+Habitat 3.0 provides support for diverse humanoid avatars, displaying different shapes an motions. Avatars are based on the [SMPL-X](https://smpl-x.is.tue.mpg.de/) body model format, a commonly used data-driven parametric human body model that provides a compact representation of 3D human shape and pose. 
+
+This repository provides a set of stand-alone avatars and motion files to represent humanoids walking and reaching to objects in the Habitat simulator. However, you can also generate new humanoids using the SMPL-X code base, or use motions coming from motion capture or motion generation models.
+
+## Contents
+
+We provide a total of 12 textured avatars of neutral, female and male gender and covering different body shapes. For each avatar, we provide a motion file that allows to drive the avatar to walk in a scene, or reach out to objects, using a [controller](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab/blob/main/habitat-lab/habitat/articulated_agent_controllers/humanoid_rearrange_controller.py). 
+
+The folder structure is as follows:
+
+```
+├── habitat_humanoids
+│   ├── neutral_0
+|   |   ├── neutral_0.ao_config.json
+|   |   ├── neutral_0.glb
+|   |   ├── neutral_0_motion_data_smplx.pkl 
+|   |   ├── neutral_0.urdf
+│   ├── *
+│   ├── walk_motion
+│   |   ├── CMU_10_04_stageii.npz
+```
+
+Where neutral_0 corresponds to the folder of one of the textured avatars. 
+
+- `neutral_0.ao_config.json`: contains a dictionary with information on how to link the avatar armature and skinning, and the semantic id of the avatar, when using a semantic sensor.
+- `neutral_0.glb`: contains the skinning and texture information.
+- `neutral_0_motion_data_smplx.pkl`: contains relevant motion data files, more information below.
+- `neutral_0.urdf`: contains the armature, built automatically from the SMPL-X body model. 
+- `walk_motion/CMU_10_04_stageii.npz`: contains a clip file from AMASS, used to build our motion file.
+
+### Motion Data File
+
+For each avatar, we provide a dictionary stored in `*_motion_data_smplx.pkl` which contains information to animate the character to walk around a scene and reach out to different positions.In particular, the dictionary contains 3 keys to store this information.
+
+- `walk_motion`: contains a 130 frame clip of a person performing a walking cycle. In particular, the clip corresponds to the frames 300-430 of the file `CMU/10/10_04_stageii.npz` from AMASS dataset. We provide the raw data in this repository, released under a license detailed below.
+- `stop_pose`: contains a standing position, taken from s single frame from the motion clip above mentioned.
+- `left_hand`: Contains a grid of poses 48 generated using [VPoser](https://github.com/nghorbani/human_body_prior), where each pose is optimized to reach a given poisition in 3D. In [HumanoidRearrangeController](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab/blob/main/habitat-lab/habitat/articulated_agent_controllers/humanoid_rearrange_controller.py), we provide code to interpolate over these poses to reach multiple 3D positions. 
+- `right_hand`: Contains the same grid of poses to reach positions with the *right hand*.

+## Usage
+
+Clone this file under `data/`. We provide several files in the [habitat-lab repository](https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-lab) to instantiate and move the avatars around the scene.
