arXiv:2606. 19935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Humanoid robots require co-speech motions that are not only expressive and speech-aligned, but also physically executable under embodiment constraints.
The paper introduces a real‑time framework for generating co‑speech gestures for digital humans, coupling a streaming speech response module with a causal multimodal autoregressive gesture generator that uses only current speech and motion history. It also presents an offline data synthesis pipeline for virtual companion dialogues and a self‑evolving training loop that incorporates user feedback to continually adapt the model. Experiments show the system achieves a better latency‑quality trade‑off, stronger speech‑motion synchronization, and higher user preference than existing baselines.

InteractGesture is a model‑agnostic, inference‑time method that enables fine‑grained spatial control of individual joints in continuous streaming co‑speech gesture generation. It guides diffusion sampler latent estimates through a differentiable RVQ‑VAE decoder, backpropagating spatial control gradients to adjust motion latents during sampling. To address chunk‑wise dependency issues in streaming generation, the method introduces Progressive Chunk Guidance, a chunk‑window strategy that keeps an active set of editable chunk latents with staggered delays, allowing spatial constraints to propagate gradients backward across chunk boundaries and reducing boundary inconsistencies.
