To build general robotic agents that can operate in many environments, it is often imperative for the robot to collect experience in the real world. However, this is often not feasible due to safety, time, and hardware restrictions. We thus…

This study seeks to automate camera movement control for filming existing subjects into attractive videos, contrasting with the creation of non-existent content by directly generating the pixels. We select drone videos as our test case due…

Reconstructing 3D human motion and human-object interactions (HOI) from Internet videos is a fundamental step toward building large-scale datasets of human behavior. Existing methods struggle to recover globally consistent 3D motion under…

Creating realistic 3D animation remains a time-consuming and expertise-dependent process, requiring manual rigging, keyframing, and fine-tuning of complex motions. Meanwhile, video diffusion models have recently demonstrated remarkable…

In this paper, we introduce a method to automatically reconstruct the 3D motion of a person interacting with an object from a single RGB video. Our method estimates the 3D poses of the person and the object, contact positions, and forces…

Modern visual effects (VFX) software has made it possible for skilled artists to create imagery of virtually anything. However, the creation process remains laborious, complex, and largely inaccessible to everyday users. In this work, we…

3D animation of humans in action is quite challenging as it involves using a huge setup with several motion trackers all over the person's body to track the movements of every limb. This is time-consuming and may cause the person discomfort…

The effectiveness of simple sensory cues for retraining gait have been demonstrated, yet the feasibility of humanoid avatars for entrainment have yet to be investigated. Here, we describe the development of a novel method of visually cued…

In 3D Human Motion Prediction (HMP), conventional methods train HMP models with expensive motion capture data. However, the data collection cost of such motion capture data limits the data diversity, which leads to poor generalizability to…

Large-scale multi-task robotic manipulation systems often rely on text to specify the task. In this work, we explore whether a robot can learn by observing humans. To do so, the robot must understand a person's intent and perform the…

The existing Motion Imitation models typically require expert data obtained through MoCap devices, but the vast amount of training data needed is difficult to acquire, necessitating substantial investments of financial resources, manpower,…

Many everyday tasks rely on external tutorials such as manuals and videos, requiring users to constantly switch between reading instructions and performing actions, which disrupts workflow and increases cognitive load. Augmented reality…

Recent research on Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) indicates that agents suffer from poor generalization in unseen environments due to the lack of realistic training environments and high-quality path-instruction pairs. Most existing…

3D Human motion generation is pivotal across film, animation, gaming, and embodied intelligence. Traditional 3D motion synthesis relies on costly motion capture, while recent work shows that 2D videos provide rich, temporally coherent…
