Most robot policies learn action embeddings specific to their own body, making it hard to transfer skills between different robots. This work treats the action embedding space itself as a core design goal by factorizing motion into periodic (cyclic) and non-periodic components using FFT coefficients and pose conditioning. By anchoring multiple humanoid robots to a shared human-pretrained manifold, they created a unified action space that works across embodiments, improving cross-robot retrieval and downstream task performance.
