TY - JOUR TI - DOC: Differentiable Optimal Control for Retargeting Motions onto Legged Robots AU - Grandia, R. AU - Farshidian, F. AU - Knoop, E. AU - Schumacher, C. AU - Hutter, M. AU - Bacher, M. PY - 2023 DA - 2023/07// JO - ACM Transactions on Graphics (SIGGRAPH 2023) AB - DOC, by Grandia, Farshidian, Knoop, Schumacher, Hutter and Bacher from Disney Research and ETH Zurich, presents a differentiable optimal control framework for retargeting authored or motion-captured animation onto physically simulated legged robots. The work received a Best Paper award at SIGGRAPH 2023. Its primary nexus is robotic-character performance, with animation-education relevance as the bridge between digital animation authoring and the physical execution of character motion -- a connection of increasing practical importance as animatronic and robotic characters enter theme-park and performance contexts.
