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 …

This paper describes WalkCompass, a system that exploits smartphone sensors to estimate
the direction in which a user is walking. We find that several smartphone localization …

Video analysis of human dynamics is an important area of research devoted to detecting
people and understanding their dynamic physical behavior in a complex environment that …

The human-friendly navigation of mobile robots is a significant social and technological
issue. There are many potential applications of human-following technology. Good …

The solutions of Einstein's equations admitting one non-null Killing vector field are best
studied with the projection formalism of Geroch. When the Killing vector is lightlike, the …

We propose a novel approach for dynamically simulating articulated rigid bodies
undergoing frequent and unpredictable contact and collision. In order to leverage existing …

A lower-limb exoskeleton robot identifies the wearer′ s walking intention and assists the
walking movement through mechanical force; thus, it is important to be able to identify the …

An argument that the complexities of brain function can be understood hierarchically, in
terms of different levels of abstraction, as silicon computing is. The vast differences between …

In this paper, a dynamic analysis is performed for a new ankle joint mechanism used on an
exoskeleton structure. The designed exoskeleton structure will be used in human …
