AHEADance: Anticipatory Humanoid Dance from Streaming Audio
arXiv cs.RO0 views
arXiv:2611.13370v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A humanoid that dances to streamed music must commit each motion chunk before it has heard the music that chunk accompanies, and must continue from motion it has already committed. We present AHEADance, a robot-native streaming dance generator executed on a humanoid robot by a whole-body tracker. ListenAhead conditions each chunk on heard music and a frozen music model's forecasts of the coming music, aligned to their target times and weighted by reliability. The forecasts carry the timing of upcoming beats almost as well as the actual future; with them, the generator is better synchronized with the music and concentrates more motion energy at its song's beat frequency. Commit Forcing trains continuation from the model's own committed chunks, updating both the latent history and the decoded boundary of the next chunk; it reduces low activity from 83.5% to 10.3%, the level of real dance. Three music evaluators, each validated on real G1 dance, test synchronization, song and style. On a physical Unitree G1, it dances while the music plays and comes to rest when it stops, without a fall. Project page: https://ihcr.github.io/AHEADance
