Journal ArticleDOI
Computational design of mechanical characters
Stelian Coros,Bernhard Thomaszewski,Gioacchino Noris,Shinjiro Sueda,Moira Forberg,Robert W. Sumner,Wojciech Matusik,Bernd Bickel +7 more
TL;DR: An interactive design system that allows non-expert users to create animated mechanical characters by sketching motion curves indicating how different parts of the character should move, and significant parts of it extend directly to non-planar mechanisms, allowing for characters with compelling 3D motions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generalized biped walking control
TL;DR: The control is shown to generalize across a variety of walking-related skills, including picking up objects placed at any height, lifting and walking with heavy crates, pushing and pulling crates, stepping over obstacles, ducking under obstacles, and climbing steps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational design of actuated deformable characters
TL;DR: A dedicated algorithm that combines finite-element analysis, sparse regularization, and constrained optimization is presented that allows a user to automatically create physical replicas of digitally designed characters using rapid manufacturing technologies.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Control of dynamic gaits for a quadrupedal robot
Christian Gehring,Stelian Coros,Marco Hutter,Michael Bloesch,M. A. Hoepflinger,Roland Siegwart +5 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a control framework for a quadrupedal robot that is capable of locomoting using several gaits, and demonstrates the flexibility of the algorithm by performing experiments on StarlETH, a recently-developed quadrupingal robot.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computational design of linkage-based characters
Bernhard Thomaszewski,Stelian Coros,Damien Gauge,Vittorio Megaro,Eitan Grinspun,Markus Gross +5 more
TL;DR: This work presents a design system for linkage-based characters, combining form and function in an aesthetically-pleasing manner, and demonstrates the flexibility of the method on a diverse set of character designs, and then realizes the designs by physically fabricating prototypes.
