Motion Capture

A system for recording the precise 3D motion of markers attached to a person or robot body. Optical motion capture (Vicon, OptiTrack) tracks reflective or active markers with millimeter accuracy. In robot learning, motion capture provides ground-truth pose references for kinesthetic demonstrations and evaluates tracking accuracy. It is also used to generate reference trajectories for RL.
