Meanwhile, diffusion-base d methods, as proposed by the robotics community, have demonstrated the ab ility to capture highly diverse and multi-modal skills. However, naively t raining a diffusion policy often results in unstable motions for high-freq uency, under-actuated control tasks like bipedal locomotion due to rapidly accumulating compounding errors, pushing the agent away from optimal trai ning trajectories. The key idea lies in using RL policies not just for pr oviding optimal trajectories but for providing corrective actions in sub-o ptimal states which gives the policy a chance to correct for errors caused by environmental stimulus, model errors, or numerical errors in simulatio n. Our method, Physics-Based Character Animation via Diffusion Policy (PDP ), combines reinforcement learning (RL) and behavior cloning (BC) to creat e a robust diffusion policy for physics-based character animation. We demo nstrate PDP on perturbation recovery, universal motion tracking, and physi cs-based text-to-motion synthesis.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\nLanguage Format: English Language\n\nSession Chai r: Yi Zhou (Adobe) URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2024/program/?id=papers_1034&sess=sess132 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
