​@@Taudris I bet somebody is working on it right now for sure. I think the thing is that there is a maximum speed with which things can progress because it still takes a human to write and run the code, to write the paper, get it reviewed and accepted at some conference etc. In AI there are a lot of things like the ones you name that are very obvious but also still to get it really right it takes some time to fix bugs and especially to tweak all the parameters involved in such a simulation. Cause my understanding is that still there is a lot of trial and error involved to get good results. Some AI researchers might get offended but probably lots of deep learning AI research is still more the result of intuition, exploration and trial and error rather than a solid science based in theory. I'm probably not qualified enough to make this a strong statement, just a hunch that I got as a student recently getting into the topic.

Rockstar did something like this when they used Euphoria engine to animate its human characters in GTA4. Characters would hold on to handrails as they stumbled, push themselves off your bumper if you nudged them with your car, all demonstrating incredible self-preservation that would be impossible with canned animations. I believe the series still uses the engine. Not all of the animations use the engine though, they're canned until the AI needs to kick it in to keep a character from falling over or doing something that would look silly. They called it "intelligent ragdoll".

It's so hilarious to just see the models start getting peppered by boxes

in order to make these fine algorithms truly wonderful (and usable across a wide spectrum of cases), is it yet possible to use 'straight' video (of a human or a cat or any animal) as the reference motion? that could mean, for instance, that a different algorithm parses the reference video motion into CG motion (ie mocap producing for example bvh, fbx) so that it can then be fed into this algorithm. from an admittedly quick glance at the paper and github i could not see what format the reference was supposed to be in, but it must be there somewhere. there are commercial mocap offerings for 'straight' video (with no depth cameras), but none that i have seen is good enough for this purpose - unless it was cleaned up by some other AI, possibly even a variation or adaptation of the one presented here?

kzread.info/dash/bejne/eGxozMOCgpi7qMY.html ☝️ poses estimated from techniques like this should suffice. Even if the reference motions are "glitchy" (discontinuous in position through time) from the pose estimations, the mimicking RL agent will be forced to create a smooth approximation. This is due to the fact that the agent cannot produce discontinuous motions in the physical simulator while only having control over force applications at joints. Then you can optimize for minimum force applied at joints or for minimizing total kinetic energy to really get a nice looking result.

The author of this paper has published a follow up paper. xbpeng.github.io/projects/AMP/ The follow up paper uses GAIL. There is a separate critic model that tries to distinguish between the reference animations and whatever the physics rig is doing. The physics rig is trying to fool the critic. I think this could be used with your idea. As long as some physical measurements (rotations and velocities) could be estimated for the joints from the video sources (another model could be trained to do this). Then these measurements could be used as sources for the GAIL critic.

This channel is pure gold.

The potential this software has in game development and animation is absolutely amazing. Imagine a player character with this backup ai and looser animations and unique interactions between the player and the environment.

Possible future development could include 'reflex response' characteristics, such as if a character is falling, that they try to grab out toward the edge or any protrusions etc. Another example would be if a projectile is coming toward a vital area, that the character flinches. When combined with the energy level simulation variables, it can create some very realistic behaviors. A character which is extremely tired (low energy) may not notice a projectile and therefore not flinch.

ONE OF THE BEST CHANNELS IN THE INTERNET!!! BRAVO!!! Greetings from Akon, temporal capital of Sanmartina!!!

This would be really cool to see in more video games. I always thought that jumping and movement animations in platformers would be cool if they were more realistic. That way we could learn movements from them, since we’d be functionally learning from a master.

this is now my favourite channel, but at the same time it scares me shitless, imagine jean claude van dam death robots and a t-rex

What a time to be alive. What a time to be born. I’d love to see more of the future!

The next step is obviously to give it the set of simulation options for locomotion and place it in a virtual level with obstacles and task them with making it to the end focusing on efficiency of action or speed of action. One option allows for low energy consumption for robotic ambulation, the other provides for emergency response movements.

This is one step closer to my dream of a customized martial arts style, based on an individuals body preportions and strengths. Feed an RL with motion capture from different martial arts styles and allow it to experiment. while having a physics simulation calculate the strength and speed of strikes based with body data. Also a bit of parkor thown in the mix for flare.

I could see this being used in multiplayer shooters to give player characters realistic animations to the environment. Battlefield 5 tried it but fell a little short. I can just imagine characters responding to the environment, position, velocity appropriately. It would do wonders for immersion

Rats - I was really hoping to be able to use the code.

That backflip is so realistic at the start. It was exactly how I (don't) do backflips.

What would be interesting is tweaking point values based on energy used to resist gravity, possibly resulting in a more realistic run if the amount of energy expended is higher (no more arms in the air resisting gravity)

I would love to see how the model could handle a body with changing limbs and mass distribution within a single sim. It would be learning how each limb works individually and then a greater ability to consider itself "whole" with many limbs and a torso

I'm very interested to see if you could pit two of these virtual people against each other in hand-to-hand combat to see what martial artistry they might come up with - you could increase their strength or speed to find out what a fight between superpowered humans might actually look at!

There have been many videos about papers on some kind of motion style transfer to an agent. I wonder, are there papers about style detection? I have been thinking about this for a bit, like how a dance style motivates the movements of a dance but a person can recognize the style regardless of which specific moves are done - like the Robot or a Tango, but supposing we eliminated trademark moves or every dance was done in every style... Can we detect those styles? Also, if animals get spooked by the stalking crawl of a predator but not so much the quiet meandering of grazer, is that a real effect, can we call it a style, and can it be detected? Imagine exploring those latent spaces! :D Thank you for your videos, they are so good!

As a dance teacher, my heart is jumping for joy at the possibilities!

1:13 The AI is accurate, I mean it looks just like me trying to do a flip but is really afraid to fail lol

the simulated back flip from 2018 is a perfect simulation of me attempting a back flip

Seems like a natural next step for Rockstar games, you could have the AI train on the fly as you progress through the game. It would be great to see this assign a value score to trying to avoid impact collision to valuable areas like the head, and chain movement to stand back up to enable a successful movement following a failure.

I could see this replacing animation trees in AI for computer games. Instead of having to animate 50 different animation states, and blends. You can have the AI chose the reference motion from an entire list and have it dynamically blend with the environment and actions. Leading to more dynamic NPC enemy, friendly or neutral movement and interactions.

This stuff is mind-blowing. AI has come so far.

This paper really inspired me. I am also interested in the intersection between AI, computer graphics and physics simulation. Please could you refer me toward some tools and software to get started. What kind of sandbox is this built within?

I really want to see this learn how to sword fight. It could be taught various different kinds of parries and ripostes based on a few key directions and then use the learning algorithm to not only learn how to do those parries and ripostes but also what kind to do based on how it's being attacked. Throw in some basic strikes, footwork, etc, then have two of them fight eachother.

I love these papers and I love learning about the bleeding edge, but I'm curious about where I can learn how to implement these types of models in a game or in a 3d simulation. Where can I learn about projects that implement this type of research?

Ha, I saw the character running at 0:55 and wondered if it could be improved by considering energy usage, then at they end, they actually try it! It turns out it just makes the person look old.

This would make such a fun parlour game

this would be nice addition to vr gaming

That backflip looks like something I would do.

I am so ready for video game characters to move properly in melee situations based on the target point and terrain setting

Fascinating!

That last bit, with high and low energy means that the energy that the character uses to move is kept track of right? Parkour, specifically jumping off high ledges is all about prolonging the dissipation of potential energy so that you body doesn’t absorb too much. During a backflip, you speed up your angular velocity by bringing the centroids of your limbs closer to the center of mass/rotation. This allows the smallest possible amount of angular momentum to creat a full flip. Running (or even standing) is just a rhythmic shifting of the centre of mass from one leg to the other, with children learning the most energy efficient way of remaining upright. Are there any papers that take the reference, then also tell the simulation hey this is the type of energy to dissipate or minimise or maximise, regardless of the amount of energy used in the other types of energy? Like you wouldn’t bother waving your arms around (give them angular momentum/energy) unless you were about to fall (lose potential/height energy)

Damm That looks impressive!! What are you using for 3d simulation...something like Unity's ML-Agents framework? I saw your video and just search a bit...i am sorry if the question is sounds very noobish
