I will present in this talk our work on multi-modal whole-body motion planners that preserve the original quality of example motions given by direct demonstration. VR interfaces allowing users to interactively build motion clusters for inverse blending are presented and planning algorithms on blending space are then introduced. The approach is complemented with locomotion synthesis in order to well position virtual demonstrators for action execution, according to behavioral models derived from experiments with human subjects. As a result, autonomous virtual assistants are able to plan and execute motions that are similar to demonstrated examples and that address new constraints and parameterizations. I will also present an overview of additional projects developed at the computer graphics group of UC Merced, including rehabilitation applications and new results on local clearance triangulations, a structure I have developed for fast path planning with arbitrary clearance.
