Titre de la thématique de collaboration (en
français et en anglais) : Simulation d'Humains et d'Animaux virtuels en interaction
avec des Environnements Réalistes |
| Descriptif: Understanding, modeling and simulating creatures (human or animal) interacting with their environment is essential for many applications, including games, film, and any realistic depiction of urban or natural environments. High-fidelity synthetic humans and animal models provide insights into biomechanics and motor control, which can then also be used to inform the design and control of future generations of robots. However, modeling and simulating realistic humans and animals remains a challenging task that involves sharing knowledge and skills from a number of different fields. In order to correctly simulate a human walking over unstable rocks or a horse doing a galloping turn in the sand will ultimately mean getting the musculo-skeletal biomechanics right, the control right, the geometry right, and the passive motion of the hair, sand, and rocks right. Because an interactive model is more valuable and insightful than an offline model, there is also a requirement for the computational models to be efficient. The SHARE team brings together researchers with complementary expertise in geometric modeling, computer graphics, mechanics, robotics, control, neuroscience and perception, and who aim to jointly tackle key elements of this difficult topic. In order to make tangible progress, the project has three foci: 1) to design enriched geometric and mechanical models for the shape and motion of soft tissues, skin, cloth and hair; 2) to significantly improve on existing models of human and animal motion; and 3) to model interaction between moving creatures and complex, realistic environments. |
