Synthesizing Movements for Computer Game Characters

Recent findings in biological neuroscience suggest that the brain learns body movements as sequences of motor primitives. Simultaneously, this principle is gaining popularity in robotics, computer graphics and computer vision: movement primitives were successfully applied to robotic control tasks as well as to render or to recognize human behavior. In this paper, we demonstrate that movement pr...
