Abstract
We describe techniques for interactively controlling bipedal articulated figures through kinematic constraints. These constraints model certain behavioral tendencies which capture some of the characteristics of human-like movement, and give us control over such elements as the figures' balanced and stability. They operate in near real-time, so provide behavioral control for interactive manipulation. These constraints form the basis of an interactive motion-generation system that allows the active movement elements to be layered on top of the passive behavioral constraints.

Inverse kinematics positioning using nonlinear programming for highly articulated figures
An articulated figure is often modeled as a set of rigid segments connected with joints. Its configuration can be altered by varying the joint angles. Although it is straight forward to compute figure configurations given joint angles (forward ...
Using Kinematic Clones to Control the Dynamic Simulation of Articulated Figures
CGI '96: Proceedings of the 1996 Conference on Computer Graphics InternationalA new paradigm is presented for the control of dynamic simulations involving articulated figures. A clone of a figure is manipulated by an animator using traditional kinematic control techniques. The realized dynamic simulation is influenced by this ...
