The system trains a character simultaneously in two 'classrooms': one for copying human movement fidelity and one for solving novel obstacle courses. A GAN-style judge discriminates real human motions from AI-generated ones, rewarding the agent for producing natural, context-appropriate movement. The result is an agent that adapts and composes skills to navigate unseen obstacle arrangements. Limitations include ~40% success on longer levels and occasional unnatural recovery motions. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
