dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines the suitability of the Verbs and Adverbs algorithm in the context of motion generation for humanoid robotic systems. The Verbs and Adverbs algorithm is a non-linear interpolation algorithm originally designed as a method for generating realistic motions in real-time for computer-animated figures. In this algorithm, Verbs represent a behavior and are parameterized by Adverbs. Motion examples are encoded as a matrix of linear and non-linear coefficients in adverb space. The suitability of the algorithm, in this context, is defined in terms of the ability to integrate this algorithm into a humanoid robotic system as well as the ability of the algorithm to rapidly generate new motions for playback on that platform. | |
