## Core Methodology

### Problem
ARDY is a streaming generation framework that bridges the gap between offline and online motion generation by enabling high-fidelity motion generation controllable via online text prompts and flexible kinematic constraints. It employs a hybrid representation that combines explicit root features with a latent body embedding, and proposes a two-stage autoregressive transformer denoiser with variable history context.

### Key Contributions
- Novel framework addressing limitations in autoregressive diffusion
- Practical evaluation demonstrating significant improvements
- Scalable design with real-world applicability

### Technical Highlights
- Architecture-preserving and efficient
- Evaluated on standard benchmarks
- Demonstrates state-of-the-art or near-SOTA performance
