Character : China’s first AIGC long-form drama “Post-Journey to the West” is jointly broadcast by Mangguo TV (芒果TV) and Hunanweishi (湖南卫视), with the series employing AI technology to interpret oriental mythology themes and shaping character images such as Sun Xiaosheng and the growing Sun Xiaosheng, telling the story of Sun Xiaosheng inheriting Sun Wukong’s abilities, confronting enemies, and taking up the golden cudgel to protect Flower Fruit Mountain. The production team simultaneously launched member-exclusive spin-offs, revealing secrets of the Water-Curtain Cave realm and the details of Sun Xiaosheng’s transformation through “Little Fat Monkey Narration” series videos in an entertaining interpretation format, including plot clues such as why the little stone monkey cannot lift the golden cudgel and how to achieve enlightenment to inherit the Great Sage’s power. The fifth episode presents special effects showcasing Sun Xiaosheng slaying the Macaque King and becoming the new leader of Flower Fruit Mountain, a pivotal scene marking that China’s AIGC technology application in long-form drama production has reached a new level of completeness, realizing full-process coverage from content generation to character creation to derivative content development. In the field of virtual human motion data conversion technology, Guangzhou Xuni Dongli (广州虚拟动力) released its self-developed robot data conversion technology solution, claiming to achieve real human dance motion capture with 27 high-precision nodes through VDSuit Full full-body inertial motion capture equipment and VDMocap motion capture engine, and with the help of its self-developed VDRobot robot data conversion system performing joint degree correction, motion trajectory smoothing and balance state optimization on raw motion data, then combined with Isaac Lab reinforcement learning framework conducting tens of millions of iterative trainings on the processed dance motion dataset, finally completing real machine deployment after verifying motion balance and smoothness through Mujoco simulation environment. The company stated that this technology chain aims to bridge the gap between human motion capture data and robot hardware execution systems, advancing motion control technology toward more natural and reliable directions.
