I worked at
USC
during the summer of 1998 with
Maja Mataric.
My work with Maja focused on control methods for autonomous agents
like the torso simulation, affectionately named, Adonis.
Click left for some footage of Adonis dancing the macarena with three different control
techniques.
This project started in the
summer of 1996 at ATR Human Information
Processing Research Laboratories in Japan.
