In this thesis we develop controllers for the real-time simulation of several motion skills, including standing balance, walking, forward rolling, and lateral rolling on the ground. These controllers are constructed from a common set of components. We demonstrate that the combination of a suitable vocabulary of components and optimization has the potential to model a variety of skills. 2012-11-27T20:38:21Z 2012-11-27T20:38:21Z 2012 2012-11-27 2013-05 Electronic Thesis or Dissertation http://hdl.handle.net/2429/43614 eng University of British Columbia
