Physics-Based Person Tracking Using Simplified Lower-Body Dynamics
We introduce a physics-based model for 3D person tracking. Based on a biomechanical characterization of lower-body dynamics, the model captures important physical properties of bi...

An Investigation into Non-Smooth Locomotion
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...
