The Key to Life is Balance: Keeping Characters Upright and Balanced

نویسنده

چکیده

We want to go beyond “passive rag-doll like” simulation characters towards more “active” intelligent self-driven solutions. The “puppet on strings” approach lacks dynamic interactive properties for engaging realistic and immersive virtual environments. This paper focuses on “Self-Driven character” (e.g., procedural physics-based techniques) that balance and react in a life-like manner using physical properties (e.g., ground contacts, mass, and strength).

Receding Horizon Based Control of Disturbed Upright Balance with Consideration of Foot Tilting(RESEARCH NOTE)

In some situations, when an external disturbance occurs, humans can rock stably backward and forward by lifting the toe or the heel to keep the upright balance without stepping. Many control schemes have been proposed for standing balance control under external disturbances without stepping. But, in most of them researchers have only considered a flat foot phase. In this paper a framework is pr...

Balance-Keeping Control of Upright Standing in Biped Human Beings and its Application for Stability Assessment

One of the most important tasks in biped robot is the balance-keeping control. A question arisen as how do our human beings make the balance-keeping possible in upright standing as human beings are the only biped-walking primates, which takes several million years of evolution period to achieve this ability. Studies on humans’ balance-keeping mechanism are not only the work of physiologists but...

A Mathematical Model for Analysis of Upright Perforated Wave Absorbers

On the basis of the continuity equation and the Bernoulli equation in the steady form, a differential equation is developed to evaluate the successive water levels within compartments of an upright perforated wave absorber. Then the initial and boundary conditions are introduced and the differential equation is solved as an initial value problem. Finally the reflection coefficient from the wave...

Balanced Acceptance Sampling+m: A Balance Between Entropy and Spatially Balance

Balanced acceptance sampling is a relatively new sampling scheme that has potential to improve the efficiency of spatial studies. There are two drawbacks of the design, it can have low entropy and some of the unbiased estimates can not be calculated. In this paper, such shortcomings have been addressed by integrating simple random sampling with balanced acceptance sampling. In a simulation stud...

Evaluation of optimal step length in a seven-link model with margin of stability method

In a walking cycle design, maximizing the upright balance should be considered in addition to the kinematic constraints, energy consumption rate must be considered. The purpose of this study is to find the optimal step length obtained for each person according to the physical features. In this research, in order to minimize energy consumption rate by considering maximum balance two cost functio...
