The research team proposed UniMate on arXiv preprint site on September 4, 2026, and officially released it on the Hugging Face Papers page on September 7. This model is a unified diffusion transformer that does not require re-training or optimization for specific skeletons during testing, and can generate articulated motions of any topology based on rigged 3D assets and text prompts. UniMate integrates skeleton topologies into the attention layer through three mechanisms: graph-aware attention bias based on joint relationships and geodesic distances, spectral rotation position embeddings (RoPE) based on graph-Laplacian generalization, and a global topological conditionalizer aggregated from the residual posture skeletons. To train this model, the team constructed the UniML3D dataset, which includes 13,006 standardized text-paired motion sequences for bipeds, quadrupeds, birds, marine organisms, insects, snakes, and rigid objects. Experiments show that UniMate…
