This project is concerned with the simulation and emulation of                  common motor behaviors.  Its goal is a task-level animation system              in which the animated agents perform certain simple but general                 kinds of problem solving in order to move among and interact with               other figures and objects in their environment.  Such a system                  would not require its human user to specify most of the details of              what's to happen in the simulated world of interest.  To that end,              the investigator seeks to develop and implement a hierarchical,                 inheritance-based scheme for representing physical objects and                  their relationships, including common-sense knowledge about their               uses, and to develop low-level motor control models based on                    inverse kinematics and finite-state control of jointed figures.
