This paper introduces a data-driven process for designing and fabricating materials with
desired deformation behavior. Our process starts with measuring deformation properties of …

The study of human nonverbal social behaviors has taken a more quantitative and
computational approach in recent years due to the development of smart interfaces and …

We introduce a comprehensive biomechanical model of the human upper body. Our model
confronts the combined challenge of modeling and controlling more or less all of the …

This paper introduces a data-driven representation and modeling technique for simulating
non-linear heterogeneous soft tissue. It simplifies the construction of convincing deformable …

We present a biped locomotion controller for humanoid models actuated by more than a
hundred Hill-type muscles. The key component of the controller is our novel algorithm that …

Laughter is everywhere. So much so that we often do not even notice it. First, laughter has a
strong connection with humour. Most of us seek out laughter and people who make us …

We present a physically-based system to simulate and control the locomotion of soft body
characters without skeletons. We use the finite element method to simulate the deformation …

Laughter is an important communicative signal in humanhuman communication. However,
very few attempts have been made to model laughter animation synthesis for virtual …

Despite the importance of laughter in social interactions it remains little studied in affective
computing. Respiratory, auditory, and facial laughter signals have been investigated but …

Modeling how the human body deforms during breathing is important for the realistic
animation of lifelike 3D avatars. We learn a model of body shape deformations due to …
