How-\never, designing soft robots that p roduce large, targeted deformations is\nchallenging. In this paper, we pro pose a new methodology for designing\nsoft...\n\n\nJuan Sebastian Montes M aestre, Ronan Hinchet, Stelian Coros, and Bernhard Thomaszewski (ETH Züric h)\n---------------------\nNon-Newtonian ViRheometry via Similarity Analys is\n\nWe estimate the three Herschel–Bulkley parameters (yield stress, pow er law index, and consistency parameter) for shear-dependent fluid-like ma terials possibly with large-scale inclusions, for which rheometers may fai l to provide a useful measurement. We perform experiments using the unknow n ma...\n\n\nMitsuki Hamamichi (Aoyama Gakuin University); Kentaro Nagasaw a and Masato Okada (The University of Tokyo); Ryohei Seto (Wenzhou Institu te, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences; Oujiang Laboratory (Zhejian g Lab for Regenerative Medicine, Vision and Brain Health)); and Yonghao Yu e (Aoyama Gakuin University)\n---------------------\nMOCHA: Real-Time Moti on Characterization via Context Matching\n\nTransforming neutral, characte rless input motions to embody the distinct style of a notable character in real time is highly compelling for character animation. This paper introd uces MOCHA, a novel online motion characterization framework that transfer s both motion styles and body proportions from a...\n\n\nDeok-Kyeong Jang (KAIST, MOVIN Inc.); Yuting Ye (Meta); Jungdam Won (Seoul National Univers ity); and Sung-Hee Lee (KAIST)\n---------------------\nOptimal Design of R obotic Character Kinematics\n\nThe kinematic motion of a robotic character is defined by its mechanical joints and actuators that restrict the relat ive motion of its rigid components. Designing robots that perform a given target motion as closely as possible with a fixed number of actuated degre es of freedom is challenging, espec...\n\n\nGuirec Maloisel, Christian Sch umacher, Espen Knoop, Ruben Grandia, and Moritz Bächer (Disney Research)\n ---------------------\nSparsePoser: Real-time Full-body Motion Reconstruct ion from Sparse Data\n\nAccurate and reliable human motion reconstruction is crucial for creating natural interactions of full-body avatars in Virtu al Reality (VR) and entertainment applications. As the Metaverse and socia l applications gain popularity, users are seeking cost-effective solutions to create full-body animati...\n\n\nJose Luis Ponton and Haoran Yun (Univ ersitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)); Andreas Aristidou (University of Cyprus, CYENS Centre of Excellence); and Carlos Andujar and Nuria Pelechan o (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC))\n\nRegistration Category: F ull Access\n\nSession Chair: Ioannis Karamouzas (Clemson University, Unive rsity of California Riverside) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
