New diffusion models enhance humanoid control with natural language

Two new research papers introduce advanced diffusion models for controlling physics-based humanoids using natural language. SCRIPT utilizes a multi-stage training framework with a Joint Action-State-Text Diffusion Transformer and Reinforcement Learning with Hybrid Rewards to improve instruction following and motion quality. MIND employs a multi-scale intent diffusion mechanism, using behavioral intent as a bridge between text commands and low-level actions, and demonstrates improved semantic alignment and physical plausibility.
