Impulse considerations for reasoning about intermittent contacts

NSH 4305

Abstract: Many of our interactions with the environment involve making and breaking contacts. However, it is not always obvious how one should reason about these intermittent contacts (sequence, timings, locations) in an online and adaptive way. This is particularly relevant in gait generation for legged locomotion control, where it is standard to simply predefine and [...]

Multi-Human 3D Reconstruction from Monocular RGB Videos

NSH 3305

Abstract: We study the problem of multi-human 3D reconstruction from RGB videos captured in the wild. Humans have dynamic motion, and reconstructing them in arbitrary settings is key to building immersive social telepresence, assistive humanoid robots, and augmented reality systems. However, creating such a system requires addressing fundamental issues with previous works regarding the data [...]
