Current Labs & Groups

Computer Graphics Lab - Modeling, animation, and rendering of 3-D scenes

Planning and Autonomy Lab - Autonomous motion planning and control of humanoid robots, quadrupeds, mobile manipulators, and UAVs.

Current 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.
Precomputed Search Trees: Planning for Interactive Goal-Driven Animation - We present a novel approach for interactively synthesizing motions for characters navigating in complex environments.
