Unleashing Infinite Motion: Scaling Expressive Quadrupedal Motion via Generative Video Priors

arXiv:2606.28237v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Quadruped robots have achieved remarkable locomotion, yet their behavioral repertoire remains confined to a few gaits--far from the expressive, companion-like presence long envisioned for them. Attempts to import the humanoid recipe of large-scale motion data have inherited one tacit assumption: that robot motion must first pass through an animal body, making data collection dependent on cooperative animals, reconstruction fragile across species, a...
