The Only Korean Company Granted Early Access
Leading Innovation in Humanoid Robot Learning Data
Realtime AI motion capture startup Movin has joined as a launch partner for NVIDIA’s physical AI human model, SOMA.
According to industry sources on March 24, Movin participated as a launch partner for SOMA, supporting the integration of its LiDAR-based real-time motion capture technology into SOMA’s initial release workflow. In this process, Movin was granted early access by NVIDIA and is the only team in Korea to have received this privilege.
SOMA is a technology introduced by NVIDIA at "GTC 2026." It is a standardized human model designed for use in physical AI learning, such as robotics and world models, by capturing and utilizing human movement data.
SOMA serves as a framework that integrates fragmented 3D human model systems into a single entity, mapping models of different formats and resolutions into a unified phase structure, thereby facilitating integration and reuse of motion data.
Moreover, with GPU acceleration, it enables real-time processing of large-scale datasets, drawing attention as a core physical AI technology that supports human motion learning for humanoid robots.
Movin’s motion capture solution, MOVIN TRACIN, has previously been used for sim-to-sim and sim-to-real robot learning via teleoperation at organizations such as Boston Dynamics and RAI Institute. Movin explained that by interfacing this solution with SOMA, human motion data captured in real-world environments can now be applied in real time to robotics workflows.
Movin plans to expand its application areas in the field of human motion infrastructure for physical AI, leveraging this collaboration with SOMA.
Meanwhile, further details regarding Movin’s selection as a SOMA launch partner by NVIDIA can be found on Movin’s tech blog.
