Learning a family of motor skills from a single motion clip

ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2021
We present a new algorithm that learns a parameterized family of motor skills from a single motion clip. The motor skills are represented by a deep policy network, which produces a stream of motions in physics simulation in response to user input and ...
