Robotics has undergone a profound revolution in the past 50 years, moving from the
laboratory and research institute to the factory and home. Kinematics and dynamics theories …

Emerging Metaverse applications demand reliable, accurate, and photorealistic
reproductions of human hands to perform sophisticated operations as if in the physical …

This letter presents a physically based algorithm to interactively simulate and control the
motion of soft robots interacting with their environment. We use the finite-element method to …

This subtitle is 20 points ▪ Bullets are blue ▪ They have 110% line spacing, 2 points before & …

We present a novel and general framework for the design and control of underwater soft-
bodied animals. The whole body of an animal consisting of soft tissues is modeled by …

Data driven models of human poses and soft-tissue deformations can produce very realistic
results, but they only model the visible surface of the human body and cannot create skin …

In this paper we present a physics-based framework for simulation and control of human-like
skeleton-driven soft body characters. We couple the skeleton dynamics and the soft body …

We present a method for controlling the motions of active deformable characters. As an
underlying principle, we require that all motions be driven by internal deformations. We …

Creating animations for robotic characters is very challenging due to the constraints
imposed by their physical nature. In particular, the combination of fast motions and …

We enrich character animations with secondary soft-tissue Finite Element Method (FEM)
dynamics computed under arbitrary rigged or skeletal motion. Our method optionally …
