Open-UniMo advances unified motion-language AI with shared token space

Researchers have introduced Open-UniMo, a novel Large Motion-Language Model (LMLM) designed for unified motion generation and understanding in open-world environments. This model addresses limitations of existing text-dominated approaches by promoting modality parity through a shared token space, extending Qwen's vocabulary with motion tokens. Open-UniMo incorporates motion-consistent Chain-of-Thought reasoning and a two-stage training pipeline, including Group Relative Policy Optimization, to improve semantic alignment and mitigate generation errors. To facilitate evaluation, the team also developed Open-MoBench, a benchmark for assessing text-to-motion and motion-to-text capabilities. AI

IMPACT This model could enhance embodied AI systems by enabling more sophisticated understanding and generation of human actions, potentially accelerating progress in robotics and human-computer interaction.

    Open-UniMo: Towards Unified Motion-Language Understanding and Generation in the Open World

    arXiv:2609.14615v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unified motion generation and understanding is crucial for embodied AI systems that can both synthesize and interpret human actions in open-world environments. Existing motion-language models often treat motion as an auxiliary mod…
