[@anul6801]

I have dreamed a long time of making AI's copy real boxers and. From film analysis. Then have them to fight eachother. Tyson vs Ali etc..

[@johndough8115]

@@adrianflo6481 Im a martial artists of 28yrs. I also enjoy fighting games. These things are two COMPLETELY different things. For one thing, you cant get any feedback in-game, when throwing a kick in VR. This means, for example, that your attacks will easily over-shoot the VR character.. because the Physical Persons body, is not actually there to stop the movement on Impact. If you try to stop the kick mid-air yourself... it will be and react, completely different. Then you have combinations, such as kicking the low leg, to the high head. Or planting your foot on the OPs hip, to leap up to the OPs shoulders. Without "purchase" of an actual physical body... these things cant be experienced / performed in VR. But more the the Actual point: A martial artists gets a completely different level of development and satisfaction, from martial arts training, and combat practice. I worked hardcore... and in maybe 5 months time.. I went from having a clumsy weak "dough-boy" body... to being fit, coordinated, and hard as Iron. That alone, gave me a Life Changing satisfaction, that no VR game can ever give someone. Continuing: I gradually built up real physical fighting skills, that when I fully mastered, was able to be performed flawlessly and effectively, in heavy impact sparring sessions.. typically against fighters 2x my own mass and strength. Being able to defend yourself properly, under adrenalized stress... is yet another high that no VR game can give a person. Its just not even close to being the same thing. Hell... just the act of sparring itself... produces a level of thrill and adrenalin, that cant be compared. Your very bodily life is actual on the line. If you screw up... you will easily suffer great pain, and likely some mild to severe injuries. If a VR model gets hit... you cant feel it. Even with Haptics, or mild physical shocks.. its not even close to the same effect. Then there is Live Feedback. This is even more relevant to combat. In the highest level combat... we relay on heavily on TOUCH instead of the EYES. Why? Because there is a processing delay between what your eyes detect... and the visual processing center of the brain. As a result.. its easy to make the hand move quicker then the eye can detect. By extending your arms further away from your body... you can use them to not only give you more space and time.. (keeping the OP further away) but also, to protect and divide the 3d space up. Then, if the OP attacks.. you can sweep the general area of the direction they are attacking. Once your arm intercepts theirs.. you will INSTANTLY know everything about their attack, based on FEEL... and so you can react to it accordingly, and correctly. For example.. I can throw a finger strike at your eyes, and just about fully retrace it, before you even realized I threw it. However... if a small insect lands on your arm.. you know exactly when it happened down to the millisecond. You know how big it is. How heavy. How much force it came in with. And you know the vector direction it was flying. You also will know if / when it changes is actions. If my arms is attached to yours... I can tell if you are putting more vectored energy towards the center of my body... or towards the side of my shoulders. I can also tell, if you try to change levels... from high to low gate... as you are still attacking. This allows me to formulate the best response, to be able to re-direct your arm and body, with almost zero effort. All within a "Fraction of a Second" worth of time. Again... you cant do that in VR. You cant feel the vector of an OPs arm and massed paths. Also realize... that because combat movements can happen in fraction of second timeframes... that you dont have time to "Think" about what to do. If a person throws a non-telegraphed jab... especially if its a counter-strike... the OP is typically Hit before realizing that attack was even thrown. In the best situation, of a telegraphed strike.. the OP might be able to roll with a strikes impact... such as rolling the head to the side, with the sideward hook, to reduce the impact potentials. All of this boils down to your very ignorance about the depth and complexity about actual combat... and your own laziness and personal issues with having a good work ethic, to achieve good results in physical challenges. Using the musty smell of a damp basement, is a crappy excuse. Its also a very easily solvable thing... by installing a simple dehumidifier, and putting air air ionizer down there. If the smells were extremely bad.. one could seal off and blast the area with an Ozone generator for a few hours, as that bleaches away all nasty scents. Once the room clears of the ozone... it will be fresh, clean, and smell-free (its how the repair smoke damages from house fires). Most of that smell is merely mildew, mold, and moisture, that can easily be cleaned up, and eliminated. As a person that didnt initially have a place to train, I trained anywhere and everywhere, that I could. For example... I put on hard leather bottomed dress shoes on, and heel+instep kicked a tree for about 1hr, in four 15 min sets. Each set was Nonstop kicking, full speed, full impact potentials. The foot stings with each impact. Heck... even if you didnt have a thick tree around... you can perform a similar method by either flat-footing a concrete wall (Ive done this as well), to a slightly lesser skill.. but at least to get the conditioning, you can stomping the concrete ground flat footed as well. Anyway... as much as I love video games... and would like to experience VR to a level beyond the limited phone demo crap... These things will never be even close to equal, without a radical feedback system. Im talking... the actual ability to physically Stop your swinging leg. Its actually possible... but the costs of such a device, will unlikely be realistic for typical consumers.

[@RobboSensei]

Potentially I can see this system being able to contribute to Martial Arts knowledge in general. Finding out new techniques never done before based upon the framework of what we already know. Weeding out what doesn't work, and potentially changing how we see martial arts. This is an amazing step in my eyes.

I've been waiting for something like this to be practically added to a game. I was watching a video about Dark Souls and the various attacks, and how starting an attack would "lock you in" to the full move, because it was "realistic" that you couldn't just shift one move into another like you can in many other games. But the actual realism is that if you start one move and then cancel into another, yes, it wouldn't just jump into that new animation, but you wouldn't be locked in either, it would just awkwardly shift the momentum of the first movement into the intentions of the second, which humans do many times per day, but when is hard when working with keyframed animations. But with AI animations, it can realistically smooth between one animation and another, taking, say, a heavy overhead strike, and converting it into a sideways strike, where all the weight and momentum of the first move is carried into the second, either improving it, or perhaps making it less effective, depending on when you made the change-over.

Some movements/actions are good only in theory but in most cases, regarding defenses and counter-attacks (2:45), keeping the other side of your body rigid will result in a reduction of the torsion of your body and the potential force you can generate by it, making the attack feel more like a friendly jab then an actual full-force attack. Some of these are better revised to fit more realistic elements of biomechanics. Another way to put it into words is quoting the first principle of Wing Chun "Free yourself from your onw force" (which in this case would be the aforementioned "tension").

Amazing. Extremely impressed. Noticed a real prob @ 2:50 however. You cannot move your head offline while striking in the opposite direction. The weight shift is completely backwards. You'll be terribly off balance & have absolutely no power. You have to strike w/ the opposite arm in the direction you're shifting your weight in that case. You simply won't see this sequence IRL. Great work though otherwise ! Edit: To make it accurate, the lean off line must be accompanied by an adjustment in stance & a step in the direction you're leaning. They just can't be laterally top heavy. And in that case a bodyshot or an uppercut is much more likely. You'll never see a lean left accompanied by a lead left hook to the head.

[@jimreily7538]

You'd get a smack in the head if you slipped a cross and had your right hand down. Plus the AI figure throws his left hook, after the slip, but without any momentum. It's basically a flick. He's not using any power. It looks cool but it's very far from real combat.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎬 El video muestra como una IA aprendió movimientos de pelea impresionantes. 00:30 🤔 El desafío clave fue entrenar al modelo con solo 3 horas de datos de captura de movimiento no estructurados. 00:53 ⚠️ Los movimientos creados por humanos pueden tener 3 problemas: no adherirse a la física real, incoherencia entre parte superior e inferior del cuerpo, y deslizamiento de pies. 01:23 📈 Este nuevo trabajo usa 20 horas de datos de entrenamiento no estructurados, más que los 3 horas previos. 01:49 🤩 La IA no solo aprende estos movimientos, sino que también inventa nuevas combinaciones de ataques y movimientos de pies. 02:47 🎮 Solo se necesita un controlador para invocar estos movimientos realistas en tiempo real. 04:41 🎉 Este es otro gran avance hacia personajes virtuales con técnicas de movimiento súper realistas. Made with HARPA AI

As a fighter myself, I have to say, the AI’s form on some of those punches where better than my own!

[@Demongordon]

I wonder if we can build upon that to try to improve more efficent human close-quarter combate if is provided with enough material of a variety of martial arts moves, reactions and counters.

[@theperson8275]

2:57 Dunno if this helps but just some boxing knowledge. The AI is doing that weave-left hook all wrong. In the case of that move, you would actually want the two moves to be disconnected and sequential, not synthesized; You would want the AI to weave first without punching, then do the hook right after. Because that synthesized version is counter-productive to your body mechanics as you're moving your body away from the punch instead of with it. For a synthesized version, you can keep that weave but just bang off with the right hand in a cross, a hook, an overhand instead. But I think it's important that you can be able to make very quick sequential combos, and that the physics engine doesn't make things slow.

One step closer to robot gladiators who can showcase optimal human combat unlike anything we've seen before. Now that will be the pinnacle of spectator sports.

[@reasonable_person9874]

Amazibg work my friend. But may I note one small thing? On 2:58 the counter is not very realistic because there is barely any transfer of weight. You can't lean on the attacking side, you must immedietly rotate after to generate power.

[@nomad27]

The funny thing is, seeing a fighting training ad selected by Google's AI for a scientific video about AI learning some fighting moves.

[@Petraefasa]

I've only just begun my journey in gamedev using unreal engine. All this stuff is so amazing and watching this video made me think, imagine what moves the ai would invent for stealth games if you programmed a few stealth kills and actions. Would be interesting to see how ai would invent takedown methods. Could even get imaginative and see what it will come up with when adding special abilities like dodging bullets matrix style. What inventive ways will it come up with for superhero landings, wallrunning and parkour!! Damn!! I want one!!!

Finally someone is working on realistic animation and physical interaction... I thought we would have to wait until the XXIII century for that. Good job!

[@michaeladair6557]

LOVE this paper, quick question though. How can a player move the right analog stick (which uses the right thumb) while simultaneously pressing the buttons on the right side of the controller (which also uses the right thumb). It would seem like you need an additional right thumb to perform these maneuvers in real time. But GREAT PAPER! I'm excited for the future of gaming.

[@michaeladair6557]

@Nolan Freeman The praying mantis kung-fu style of Video Game control huh.. Well I'd give it a shot if it meant controlling the fighter's body in real time like that.

You just threw in the clinching at the end. WOW! That's impressive

[@thadonis.]

3:15 moves like Dominic Cruz, who was a real innovator and out of box thinking fighter. And became world champ because of it.

[@jroc6745]

At 2:57 the two references used have opposite footing so technique wise the character is punching with the wrong arm in that instance. Dont want the AI to learn that. ;) This is amazing tho. Great work.

[@WikiSnapper]

The smoothness of that animation is mine blowing.

[@inototen]

It would be amazing to have these in VR fighting simulators and test every mind of strategy and technics, imagine how good fighters could become fighting with those

[@marcusholloway1147]

I could see a cool as game where people scan themselves irl whilst doing martial arts and the ai then gets trained on them after witch people Duke it out with their characters using controllers

[@T1Oracle]

Getting the kinesiology and physics right in the model is the most important step before expecting an AI to teach people how to move.

[@MrFruitslices]

Learning has never been more fun with this channel.

[@Lorendrawn]

holy crap. The AI learned how to do a technical get up, efficient clinch turns, and light feet like Robbie Lawler. That's pretty scary.

[@josephgliddy3585]

Now you can look for possibilities of a massive fight between just one fully trained AI and see how he handles a bunch

[@therowofboats4840]

I wonder if this could be applicable to VR Training similar to shadow boxing.

[@theodorealenas3171]

Sounds sick, especially for those who want to learn a martial art and don't want the experience of getting punched. These people usually don't learn how to apply their techniques, so if they get this comfortable way to practice they'd be able to connect the exercises they learned. And hopefully they'll realize what moves are applicable and what moves are art/exercise/tradition/too high level gimmicks

[@therowofboats4840]

One of the things I struggle with in my own shadow boxing is perhaps a lack of imagination. I think something like this could be a useful tool if used for reaction drills. Depending on how this type of tool is implemented it could also alert you to being struck by the AI (your guard was lowered) and it could measure your overall punching power and penetration. You'd be missing things like haptic feedback but I digress, it's an interesting idea.
