Mixed Reality can be a valuable tool for research and development in robotics. In this work,
we refine the definition of Mixed Reality to accommodate seamless interaction between …

While virtual humans are proven tools for training, education and research, they are far from
realizing their full potential. Advances are needed in individual capabilities, such as …

An effective 3D stepping control algorithm that is computationally fast, robust, and easy to
implement is extremely important and valuable to character animation research. In this …

Character motion synthesis is the process of artificially generating natural motion for a virtual
character. In film, motion synthesis can be used to generate difficult or dangerous stunts …

We present ADAPT, a flexible platform for designing and authoring functional, purposeful
human characters in a rich virtual environment. Our framework incorporates character …

High quality locomotion is key to achieving believable character animation, but is often
modeled as a generic stepping motion between two locations. In practice, locomotion often …

Abstract Machine-learning based human posture-prediction tools can potentially be robust
alternatives to motion capture measurements. Existing posture-prediction approaches are …

We present a novel interactive approach, PedVR, to generate plausible behaviors for a large
number of virtual humans, and to enable natural interaction between the real user and …

This work presents a hierarchical framework that generates continuous gesture animation
performance for virtual characters. As opposed to approaches that focus more on realizing …

In his articles collection about Cellular Automata, specifically in the article entitled Cellular
Automata from 1983, Wolfram (1994) introduces the subject with a reflection on the basic …
