Frontier Report — Motion Representation & Generative AI (2026-05)
The past four weeks mark a notable thematic convergence in motion generation research. Three independent lines of work — physics-grounded generation, identity-conditioned synthesis, and contact-explicit modelling — have each produced significant papers in rapid succession. Together they signal a fie...

Frontier Report — Manifold-Level Motion Conditioning: Beyond Skeleton Keypoints to Somatic Texture
The dominant conditioning paradigm in human motion generation treats pose as a flat array of joint positions—an $\mathbb{R}^{3J}$ vector for $J$ joints. The convenience is obvious: keypoints are easily supervised, trivially differentiable, and require no domain knowledge of kinematics. But this repr...
