NVIDIA’s MotionBricks can animate avatars and control humanoid robots
A repost highlights NVIDIA’s new MotionBricks model, trained on more than 350,000 motion clips.
The notable part is the claimed cross-domain transfer:
- The same model can animate a digital character.
- It can also control a humanoid robot in the real world.
Commenters point to the broader implication: character animation and humanoid control may share more of the same underlying motion representation than previously assumed.
