    Animating Human Lower Limbs Using Contact-Invariant Optimization

    We present a trajectory optimization approach to animating human activities driven by the lower body (e.g., locomotion, jumping, kicking). Our formulation is applied to a physical humanoid model whose lower limbs are actuated by musculotendon units, and does not rely on prior motion data or on task-specific controllers.

    Evaluating the Distinctiveness and Attractiveness of Human Motions on Realistic Virtual Bodies

    We conducted a series of perceptual experiments to explore
    the distinctiveness and attractiveness of human motions, and
    whether characteristic motion features transfer across an individual’s
    different gaits. To do this, we captured thirty actors walking, jogging and dancing, and applied their motions to a male or female virtual character.

    The Line of Action: an Intuitive Interface for Expressive Character Posing

    The line of action is a conceptual tool often used by cartoonists and illustrators to help make their figures more consistent and more dramatic. In this paper, we adapt the line of action to 3D virtual character posing.

    Flexible Muscle-Based Locomotion for Bipedal Creatures

    We present a muscle-based control method for simulated bipeds
    in which both the muscle routing and control parameters are optimized.
    Our control framework supports a wide variety of bipedal creates, finds different gaits based on target speed, copes with uneven terrain and perturbations, and can steer to target directions.

    Robust Realtime Physics-based Motion Control for Human Grasping

    We present a robust physics-based motion control algorithm for realtime synthesis of human grasping. We demonstrate the power of our approach by generating physics-based motion control for grasping a wide variety of objects with different properties such as shapes, weights, spatial orientations, and frictions.
