Physics simulation offers the possibility of truly responsive and realistic animation. Despite
wide adoption of physics simulation for the animation of passive phenomena, such as fluids …

Using the pre-recorded human motion and trajectory tracking, we can control the motion of a
humanoid robot for free-space, upper body gestures. However, the number of degrees of …

Controllable, reactive human motion is essential in many video games and training
environments. Characters in these applications often perform tasks based on modified …

In this paper we present a general method for rapid prototyping of realistic character motion.
We solve for the natural motion from a simple animation provided by the animator. Our …

We review methods for kinematic tracking of the human body in video. The review is part of a
projected book that is intended to cross-fertilize ideas about motion representation between …

Animating natural human motion in dynamic environments is difficult because of complex
geometric and physical interactions. Simulation provides an automatic solution to parts of …

Using tools from dynamical systems and systems identification, we develop a framework for
the study of primitives for human motion, which we refer to as movemes. The objective is …

Real-time adaptation of a motion capture sequence to virtual environments with physical
perturbations requires robust control strategies. This paper describes an optimal feedback …

Completely revised and updated, taking the scientific rigor to a whole new level, the second
edition of the Occupational Ergonomics Handbook is now available in two volumes. This …

We present a physics-based approach to synthesizing motion of a virtual character in a
dynamically varying environment. Our approach views the motion of a responsive virtual …
