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 …

In this paper we present a learned alternative to the Motion Matching algorithm which retains
the positive properties of Motion Matching but additionally achieves the scalability of neural …

In two-player competitive sports, such as boxing and fencing, athletes often demonstrate
efficient and tactical movements during a competition. In this paper, we develop a learning …

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

This paper presents new methods for automatic classification and retrieval of motion capture
data facilitating the identification of logically related motions scattered in some database. As …

We propose a novel representation of motion data and control that enables characters with
both highly agile responses to user input and natural handling of arbitrary external …

The ways to compute the kinematics and dynamic quantities of human bodies in motion
have been studied in many biomedical papers. This paper presents a comprehensive …

We demonstrate a real-time simulation system capable of automatically balancing a
standing character, while at the same time tracking a reference motion and responding to …

Human motions are the product of internal and external forces, but these forces are very
difficult to measure in a general setting. Given a motion capture trajectory, we propose a …

We describe an automatic technique for generating the motion of tendons and muscles
under the skin of a traditionally animated character. This is achieved by integrating the …
