The Animation Lab (Room 206 CCB) is a facility for creating computer
animations. The Animation Group is exploring techniques for computer
animation of people, animals, and robots. Their approach is to apply
control algorithms to physically realistic models of the systems that
they would like to animate. The goal is to allow the animator to
control the system at a high level and without an understanding of the
underlying forces and torques or the motion of the individual joints.
Their work has focussed on dynamic human behaviors such as running or
bicycling at a variety of speeds and performing gymnastic vaults and
platform dives.
