A dedicated environment for humanoid robotics
The Center of Excellence(CoE) is a professional customer experience center showcasing turnkey, scalable teleoperation and data farming solutions for humanoid robotics.
Housed within Xsens Humanoids HQ in Enschede, the CoE features a dedicated briefing room alongside a fully equipped lab and capture area. Customers and partners see working pipelines first-hand, test third-party tools that plug into the Xsens stack, and explore how Xsens Humanoids can solve their training data challenges.
A guided journey from human motion to robot action
Visitors experience the complete humanoid data pipeline live, from suiting up in Xsens Link to watching a humanoid robot mirror their movements in real time.
Live Motion Capture
Suit up in the latest Xsens Link system. Experience full-body + hand tracking at 240Hz. See your motion data stream in real time.
Real-Time Retargeting
Watch your movements retargeted live to a physical Unitree G1 humanoid robot. See bi-directional teleoperation in action.
Simulation Pipeline
See motion data flow into leading simulation platforms. Understand how real-world capture seeds and validates simulation environments.
Manufacturing Scenarios
Hands-on demonstrations with conveyor belts, assembly tasks, and bin picking. See how production line movements are captured for robot training.
Glove Integrations
Try Manus and StretchSense glove integrations side-by-side. See dexterous capture and policy training for grasp, in-hand reorientation, and contact-rich manipulation tasks.
Synchronised Video Capture
Time-synchronised multi-camera video alongside motion data. The combined stream is ready for VLA training and annotation pipelines.
Optical Hybrid Set-Ups
Combined inertial + optical capture for the highest fidelity environments. Hybrid setups for sub-mm contact-rich tasks where it matters.
Meta Quest Integration
Immersive teleop demos using Meta Quest VR with full-body Xsens capture. First-person vision and motion streaming in one setup.
Test Retargeting Engines
Compare retargeting engines side by side. See how the same Xsens capture maps onto different humanoid embodiments before you commit to a stack.
HTC Vive & Ultimate Tracker
Sub-millimetre spatial reference paired with full-body Xsens motion capture. Immersive teleop and high-precision positional grounding in one setup.
Object Tracking
Track payloads, fixtures and scene anchors alongside the operator. Real-world object positions feeding the same recording session as the human motion.
