Virtual human is a digital representation of the geometric and behavioral property of human
beings in the virtual environment generated by computer. The research goal of virtual …

In this paper, a new analytic inverse kinematics (IK) solver is proposed which is suitable for
multiple constrained 12-DOF human limbs. By decomposing human skeleton into five parts …

We present a framework for the automatic design of articulated cable-driven mechanisms
performing push andpick-and-place tasks. Provided an initial topology and task …

Sensing gloves are often used as an input device for virtual 3D games. We propose a new
method to control characters such as humans or animals in real‐time by using sensing …

We present an approach for animating characters using inverse kinematics (IK) handles that
allows for intuitive keyframing of physically plausible motion. Specifically, we extend …

To duplicate human motion on the computer while retaining the individuality of the source,
this paper discusses what the viewers focus on when they attempt to distinguish the identity …

Die vorliegende Arbeit ist durch Problemstellungen motiviert, die im Rahmen des
Sonderforschungsbereichs 588 entstanden sind. Sie behandelt verschiedene Aspekte der …

Generating natural motion of an articulated object with higher DOF (eg, humanoid robot and
robot hand) is a crucial issue in robotics and computer graphics fields. Use of the motion …

This paper presents a new method to generate arm gestures which reproduces the
dynamical properties of human movements. We describe a model of synergy, defined as a …

This paper presents a method of pose synthesis based on a low-dimensional space and a
set of characteristics of motion learned from examples. This method consists of two phases …
