We present a perceptual control space for simulation of cloth that works with any physical simulator, treating it as a black box.

This work provides a method of wireless power transfer that uses the resonant modes of a metallic cavity to deliver power to a small dipole nearly anywhere within the structure.

We implemented a haptic vest that generates vibrotactile stimulation related to story content to augment story listening.

Here we explored intermanual apparent tactile motion—illusory movement between two hands—as a means to enrich such feedback.

We explore ensembles of hierarchical spatio-temporal trees, discovered directly from training data, to model these structures for action recognition.

We develop a new scalable and accurate incremental object detection algorithm, based on several extensions of large-margin embedding (LME)

This paper presents an iterative approach for learning hardware models and optimizing policies with as few hardware experiments as possible.

This paper presents a method for adapting human motions to humanoid robots based on a technique called time warping, which modifies the time line of a reference motion to speed up or slow down the motion.

We present a bipedal robot that looks like and walks like an animation character.
