A performer I am not. So for each movement I will record, I found a short clip of someone doing something like it and I will copy that. The numbers in brackets point back to the movements in Movement Study.
The idea: repetitive labor on the line, captured as motion, driving a robot in a luxurious house.
1. Calibrate
T-pose, then a neutral standing stance. Needed for retargeting.
2. Pick (M02)
Reach into a bin, grasp, pull back. The point is that the path is the same every time.
3. Place and sort (M04)
Put the part on the table or belt, or send it left or right into different bins.
4. Assemble (M05)
Two hands, small parts, small movements. The eyes stay on the hands.
5. Fine hand work (gloves)
Insert, turn, set down. This one needs the gloves.
6. Loop (M09)
One hand, one movement, for three to five minutes without changing it. The repetition is the content.
7. Fatigue (M09)
The same movement again, getting slower and sloppier. The reference is the bolt-tightening scene in Chaplin’s Modern Times (Filmsite). It is still under copyright, so there is no clip here.
8. Face
Blank, tired, eyes unfocused. A short take.

The clips are cut from two public-domain films on the Internet Archive: the original motion-study films of Frank B. Gilbreth (1910–24) and Master Hands (Chevrolet, 1936).
