About this paper

Jiye Lee, Hanbyul Joo

The LAMA system synthesizes unified human motions, encompassing locomotion, complex scene interactions, and object manipulation within diverse 3D environments, all without requiring scene-paired motion datasets. It achieved a Contact score of 4.34 cm and a Penetration score of 1.30%, significantly outperforming prior methods in physical plausibility and was overwhelmingly preferred for naturalness in perception studies.

Key insights

  • Test-time optimization proves effective in synthesizing complex human-scene interactions in arbitrary 3D environments, overcoming the limitations imposed by the scarcity of scene-paired motion data.
  • A hierarchical system that integrates RL-driven high-level action control with low-level motion synthesis and specialized motion editing can robustly generate natural, long-term human behaviors.
  • Carefully designed reward functions, including penalties for collisions and rewards for action fulfillment and temporal smoothness, are crucial for achieving physically plausible and perceptually natural motions in cluttered scenes.
