PhysDrift: New AI Framework Bridges Embodiment Gap in Humanoid Co-Speech Motion Generation
Researchers propose PhysDrift, an embodiment-aware framework that generates humanoid robot motions directly from speech, bypassing intermediate human body representations. It addresses the embodiment gap where retargeting from human models compresses motion diversity and weakens speech-motion synchronization. Experiments and real-world deployment show improvements in alignment, plausibility, smoothness, and inference efficiency.
