Grounding the Phantom: Improving Physical Plausibility in Dance Generation via Biomechanical Constraints
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Music-conditioned 3D dance generation often suffers from physical artifacts such as foot sliding. We propose a Physics-Informed Loss Module that integrates constraints on static friction (PFC-Proxy), trajectory smoothness (Minimum Jerk), and dynamic balance (ZMP) into a diffusion model. Experiments on AIST++ demonstrate that our approach reduces foot skating by 45% and achieves physical plausibility scores that surpass those of the ground-truth data, significantly enhancing the realism of the generated dances.
