EIA-0203912 Hodgins，Jessica Carnegie Mellon University Jessica Carnegie Mellon University TITLE：CESE博士后助理实验计算机科学：编程娱乐机器人要使类人机器人成为小规模娱乐应用的可行替代方案，需要更简单的编程方法。他们必须有一个自然和娱乐性的动作风格，并经常需要大量的动作数据库，以确保足够多样的行为。这个问题的一个潜在解决方案是使用人体运动数据作为关节轨迹的来源。人类运动数据的自动使用技术将提供令人信服的机器人性能所需的各种运动。这位博士后助理将开发技术，允许使用人类运动数据来控制各种人形和娱乐机器人和模拟。该项目将在优化技术的开发以及物理机器人的建造和控制方面进行重要的实验。这项研究将把博士后助理在动力学、规划和运动过滤方面的专业知识与首席研究员在模拟、人体运动控制系统和处理运动捕捉数据方面的经验结合起来。

EIA - 0203912 Hodgins, Jessica Carnegie Mellon UniversityTITLE: CISE Postdoctoral Associates in Experimental Computer Science: Programming Entertainment RobotsTo make humanoid robots a viable alternative for small scale entertainment applications, easier ways of programming them are needed. They must have a natural and entertaining style of motion and often require substantial motion databases to ensure a sufficient variety of behaviors. One potential solution to this problem is to use human motion data as the source of joint trajectories. Automatic techniques for human motion data use would provide the variety of motion that is required for compelling robotic performances. The postdoctoral associate will develop techniques that will allow human motion data to be used to control a wide variety of humanoid and entertainment robots and simulations. This project will involve significant experimentation both in the development of optimization techniques and in the construction and control of physical robots. The research will combine the expertise of the postdoctoral associate in dynamics, planning and motion filtering with the principal investigator's experience in simulation, control systems for human motion, and processing motion capture data.
