This overview presents computational algorithms for generating 3D object grasps with
autonomous multi-fingered robotic hands. Robotic grasping has been an active research …

This paper addresses a novel task of anticipating 3D human-object interactions (HOIs). Most
existing research on HOI synthesis lacks comprehensive whole-body interactions with …

Modeling human behaviors in contextual environments has a wide range of applications in
character animation, embodied AI, VR/AR, and robotics. In real-world scenarios, humans …

Can we make virtual characters in a scene interact with their surrounding objects through
simple instructions? Is it possible to synthesize such motion plausibly with a diverse set of …

Robotic grasping of house-hold objects has made remarkable progress in recent years. Yet,
human grasps are still difficult to synthesize realistically. There are several key reasons:(1) …

The human hand is a complex biological system able to perform numerous tasks with
impressive accuracy and dexterity. Gestures furthermore play an important role in our daily …

This paper presents a novel object-centric contact representation ContactGen for hand-
object interaction. The ContactGen comprises 3 components: a contact map indicates the …

Natural hand manipulations exhibit complex finger maneuvers adaptive to object shapes
and the tasks at hand. Learning dexterous manipulation from data in a brute force way …

The synthesis of human grasping has numerous applications including AR/VR, video games
and robotics. While methods have been proposed to generate realistic hand–object …

Articulated hand-tracking systems have been widely used in virtual reality but are rarely
deployed in consumer applications due to their price and complexity. In this paper, we …
