--- res: bibo_abstract: - We propose a complete process for designing, simulating, and fabricating synthetic skin for an animatronics character that mimics the face of a given subject and its expressions. The process starts with measuring the elastic properties of a material used to manufacture synthetic soft tissue. Given these measurements we use physicsbased simulation to predict the behavior of a face when it is driven by the underlying robotic actuation. Next, we capture 3D facial expressions for a given target subject. As the key component of our process, we present a novel optimization scheme that determines the shape of the synthetic skin as well as the actuation parameters that provide the best match to the target expressions. We demonstrate this computational skin design by physically cloning a real human face onto an animatronics figure. @eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Bernd foaf_name: Bernd Bickel foaf_surname: Bickel foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-6511-9385 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Peter foaf_name: Kaufmann, Peter foaf_surname: Kaufmann - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mélina foaf_name: Skouras, Mélina foaf_surname: Skouras - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Bernhard foaf_name: Thomaszewski, Bernhard foaf_surname: Thomaszewski - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Derek foaf_name: Bradley, Derek J foaf_surname: Bradley - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Thabo foaf_name: Beeler, Thabo foaf_surname: Beeler - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Philip foaf_name: Jackson, Philip V foaf_surname: Jackson - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Steve foaf_name: Marschner, Steve foaf_surname: Marschner - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Wojciech foaf_name: Matusik, Wojciech foaf_surname: Matusik - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Markus foaf_name: Groß, Markus S foaf_surname: Groß bibo_doi: 10.1145/2185520.2185614 bibo_issue: '4' bibo_volume: 31 dct_date: 2012^xs_gYear dct_publisher: ACM@ dct_title: Physical face cloning@ ...
