Composable Controllers

We created a control system framework that allows a large number of controllers to be sequenced in an autonomous fashion. An application of this work is a prototype virtual stuntman.

Falling, getting up and balancing in place. 1.5MB mpeg.
Doing the kip. Thanks to Glenn Tsang and Joe Laszlo for agreeing to compete with the...skeleton. 1.9MB avi.
Diving down the stairs. Yikes! 1MB mpeg.
Falling backward and to the left. 176K avi.
Double trouble. 200K quicktime.
