Motion Manifold

Motion manifolds represent a powerful approach to modeling complex movements, aiming to capture the underlying structure of motion data in a lower-dimensional space while preserving essential characteristics. Current research focuses on developing generative models, such as normalizing flows and GANs, to learn and synthesize diverse motions from limited data, often incorporating parametric curve representations or structured prediction methods for improved control and adaptability. These advancements are significantly impacting robotics, animation, and computer vision by enabling more realistic and controllable motion generation, particularly in tasks involving trajectory planning, imitation learning, and motion interpolation.
