Gaits and Gait Transitions for Legged Robots
Abstract— This paper introduces the concept of gait transitions, acyclic feedforward motion patterns that allow a robot to switch from one gait to another. Legged robots often ut...

Direct Ray Tracing of Displacement Mapped Triangles
We present an algorithm for ray tracing displacement maps that requires no additional storage over the base model. Displacement maps are rarely used in ray tracing due to the cost...

A novel FEM-based dynamic framework for subdivision surfaces
Subdivision surfaces have been extensively used to model smooth shapes of arbitrary topology. Recursive subdivision on an userdefined initial control mesh generates a visually pl...
