Abstract:

In this paper an operational model for the automatic generation of lifelike gestures of
an anthropomorphic virtual agent is described. The biologically motivated approach to
controlling the movements of a highly articulated figure provides a transformation of
spatiotemporal gesture specifications into an analog representation of the movement
from which the animations are directly rendered. To this end, knowledge-based computer
animation techniques are combined with appropriate methods for trajectory formation
and articulated figure animation.
