Implicit Distance Functions: Learning and Applications in Robotics

In this thesis, we address the complex issue of collision avoidance in the joint space of robots. Avoiding collisions with both the robot's own body parts and obstacles in the environment is a critical constraint in motion planning and is crucial for ensur ...

Giant Exciton Mott Density in Anatase TiO2

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri

Elucidating the carrier density at which strongly bound excitons dissociate into a plasma of uncorrelated electron-hole pairs is a central topic in the many-body physics of semiconductors. However, there is a lack of information on the high-density respons ...

Phace: Physics-based Face Modeling and Animation

Mark Pauly, Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non-linear potential energies that model the physical interaction of passive flesh, ...

Nanometer CMOS characterization and compact modeling at deep-cryogenic temperatures

Edoardo Charbon, Harald Arjan Robert Homulle, Fabio Sebastiano

The characterization of nanometer CMOS transistors of different aspect ratios at deep-cryogenic temperatures (4 K and 100 mK) is presented for two standard CMOS technologies (40 nm and 160 nm). A detailed understanding of the device physics at those temper ...

Reconstructing Personalized Anatomical Models for Physics-based Body Animation

Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a method to create personalized anatomical models ready for physics-based animation, using only a set of 3D surface scans. We start by building a template anatomical model of an average male which supports deformations due to both 1) subject-spe ...
