MARRS framework generates coordinated human reaction motions using continuous representations

Researchers have developed MARRS, a novel framework for synthesizing human reactions conditioned on observed actions. The system utilizes a Unit-distinguished Motion Variational AutoEncoder (UD-VAE) to encode distinct body and hand units independently. It incorporates Action-Conditioned Fusion (ACF) to process reactive tokens and Mutual Unit Modulation (MUM) to enable interaction between body and hand units. A compact MLP serves as a noise predictor within a diffusion model for generating token probability distributions. AI

IMPACT Introduces a new method for generating coordinated human reaction motions, potentially improving embodied AI and animation.

    MARRS: Masked Autoregressive Unit-based Reaction Synthesis

    arXiv:2505.11334v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work aims at a challenging task: human action-reaction synthesis, i.e., generating human reactions conditioned on the action sequence of another person. Currently, autoregressive modeling approaches with vector quantization…
