Uthana
The AI platform for human motion — for simulation, robotics, and 3D content.
Uthana is an AI platform for human motion. We turn text, video, and motion data into production-ready 3D movement for simulation, robotics, and digital characters. Our models generate and extract realistic human motion, retarget it across different characters and embodiments, and produce outputs that can be used directly in 3D pipelines, simulation environments, and humanoid robots. Our goal is to make human motion programmable: enabling developers to generate, transform, and deploy movement as easily as other AI-generated content.
