  • Success in generative modeling across language, image, and video demonstrates that large, well-curated datasets are the key driver for building capable models. 3D Human motion, however, has lagged behind, constrained by an unsatisfying choice between small, high-fidelity motion capture datasets and large-scale in-the-wild collections dominated by static or low-quality sequences. We introduce RoMo, a rich, large-scale, carefully curated dataset of in-the-wild human motions that resolves these tradeoffs. To ensure quality, we introduce a taxonomy-aware filtering pipeline that aggressively removes static and artifact-prone sequences. Every sequence is annotated with detailed captions and organized by a novel three-level semantic taxonomy. This hierarchical structure enables fine-grained, per-category evaluation, that reveals model strengths and weaknesses obscured by global metrics. We demonstrate that models trained on RoMo achieve state-of-the-art fidelity and diversity while gaining a superior understanding of complex, subtle text prompts. Finally, we release the Motion Toolbox to standardize metrics, data conversion, and visualization, establishing a foundation for reproducible and interpretable motion generation research.
