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 …

This paper surveys the set of techniques developed in computer graphics for animating
human walking. First we focus on the evolution from purely kinematic 'knowledge …

We present a motion synthesis framework capable of producing a wide variety of important
human behaviors that have rarely been studied, including getting up from the ground …

In this paper, we present a technique for motion: the problem of adapting an animated
motion from one character to another. Our focus is on adapting the motion of one articulated …

There are many applications that demand large quantities of natural looking motion. It is
difficult to synthesize motion that looks natural, particularly when it is people who must move …

Physics-based simulation and control of biped locomotion is difficult because bipeds are
unstable, underactuated, high-dimensional dynamical systems. We develop a simple control …

The article describes a system for real-time interpolated animation that addresses some of
these problems. Through creating parameterized motions-which the authors call verbs …

Research into the methods and techniques used in simulating crowds has developed
extensively within the last few years, particularly in the areas of video games and film …

We present a control strategy for physically-simulated walking motions that generalizes well
across gait parameters, motion styles, character proportions, and a variety of skills. The …

This paper introduces an approach to control of physics-based characters based on high-
level features of movement, such as center-of-mass, angular momentum, and end-effectors …
