Current CFR Projects

• Behavior Planning for Character Animation - We are exploring a behavior planning approach to automatically generate realistic motions for animated characters.
• Footstep Planning for Biped Robots - Navigation strategies for bipeds through complex environments, planning for the full capabilities of the biped.
• GPU-accelerated Computer Vision - We are exploiting programmable graphics hardware to improve existing vision algorithms and enable novel approaches to robot perception.
• Learning Locomotion - Robust planning and control of the quadruped robot "Little Dog" to traverse rough terrain (DARPA sponsored).
• Navigation Among Movable Obstacles - Autonomous motion planning and control for robots working in reconfigurable environments.
• Perception for Humanoid Robots - Real-time perception algorithms for autonomous humanoid navigation, manipulation and interaction.
• Precomputed Search Trees: Planning for Interactive Goal-Driven Animation - We present a novel approach for interactively synthesizing motions for characters navigating in complex environments.
