Motion for animation and robotics (MAR)

Description

The objectives of this module are:

• to master the key representations of motion (animation curves, direct and inverse kinematics)
• to know how to model physical, dynamic and behavioral animation, together with related computational techniques
• to know how to model environments and use planning algorithms in such environments

The module will rely on applications to illustrate different these techniques in robotics and animation

• pose retargeting (inverse kinematics, with/without dynamics)
• motion graphs (distance metrics between poses, motion similarity, motion interpolation)
