Aiming to solve this problem, a hybrid-control system was developed for Stan Winston Studios for their robotic film characters. It employs an infrared pupil tracker and inverse kinematics to achieve real-time, robust, and realistic gaze selection with a single puppeteer and optional director override. 117 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/188053760 2008-11-26 12:31:30 -0500 some videos to not Highlight reel from a unique human-robot stage performance including two human actors and AUR, the robotic desk lamp. 70
