STyMo is a few‑shot motion style transfer method that learns from only seconds of paired data and trains in one to two minutes. It decomposes style into a static posture component and a temporal dynamics component, allowing runtime adjustment of posture intensity, temporal exaggeration, and per‑body‑region style. The approach includes a stylizability gate to avoid artifacts on out‑of‑distribution motions and supports an iterative authoring workflow, with results shown across a range of motion styles and a released dataset for future research.

The paper surveys Generative Physical Artificial Intelligence (GPAI), a field where large foundation models are integrated with physical robots. It introduces a taxonomy of five approaches—Robot Foundation Models, Vision‑Language Action models, Large Behavior Models, Diffusion Policy Models, and World Foundation Models—and discusses how they complement each other across domains such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, healthcare robotics, and humanoid systems. The review highlights performance gains, data‑efficient learning, sim‑to‑real transfer, edge‑compatible architectures, and safety frameworks as key research directions.
