    Local Models for Data Driven Inverse Kinematics of Soft Robots
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Holsten, Fredrik; Darkner, Sune; Engell-Nørregård, Morten P.; Erleben, Kenny; Skouras, Melina
    Soft robots are attractive because they have the potential of being safer, faster and cheaper than traditional rigid robots. If we can predict the shape of a soft robot for a given set of control parameters, then we can solve the inverse problem: to find an optimal set of control parameters for a given shape. This work takes a data-driven approach to create multiple local inverse models. This has two benefits: (1) We overcome the reality gap and (2) we gain performance and naive parallelism from using local models. Furthermore, we empirically prove that our approach outperforms a higher order global model.

    Viewpoint Selection for Liquid Animations
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Suzuki, Chihiro; Kanai, Takashi; Skouras, Melina
    We propose a viewpoint selection method for time-varying liquid shapes in order to select the best viewpoint for liquid animations. First, viewpoint evaluation is performed by a combination of three evaluation terms; occlusion term, spatial feature term, and temporal feature term, and the viewpoint having the maximum evaluation value is selected as the “best viewpoint”. Through various experiments, it was confirmed that the results of this method is consistent with human intuition and that it can select viewpoints independent of the resolution of liquid meshes.
