15-869 (B) Physically Based Character Animation
MW 10:30 - 11:50 a.m.
WeH 4615A
Units: 12

Instructor: Nancy Pollard


Description:

This course will explore topics in physically based character animation, where the goal is to obtain a character performance that appears both
natural and physically plausible. We will look at statistical and data-driven approaches to representing motion, as well as approaches based
on optimization. In addition to computer graphics literature, we will explore related topics in biomechanics and human motor control. The course
should be appropriate for graduate students with some computer graphics and/or robotics experience and for advanced undergraduates.
