Stroke Motion

Stroke motion research encompasses the analysis and replication of repetitive movements, focusing on optimizing efficiency and achieving natural-looking results in both robotic and human contexts. Current research explores trajectory generation methods for robotic systems, aiming to mimic human-like movements and evoke specific emotional responses, as well as investigating bio-inspired compensatory strategies for damaged robotic propulsors using evolutionary algorithms and hardware-in-the-loop optimization. Furthermore, advancements in AI, particularly using GANs and novel loss functions like Gromov-Wasserstein distance, are improving the realism of motion transfer and video generation techniques, addressing limitations in texture detail and requiring less training data. These efforts have implications for robotics, animation, and a deeper understanding of biological locomotion.
