PAPER Special Section on Cyberworlds Extensible Task Simulation with Motion Archive ∗

SUMMARY This paper proposes a new framework to produce humanoid animations for simulating human tasks. Natural working movements are generated via management of motion capture data with our simulation package. An extensible middleware controls reactive human behaviors, and all processes of simulation in a cyber factory are controlled through XML documents including motions, scene objects, and behaviors. This package displays simulation using Web3D technology and X3D specifications which can supply a common interface for customizing cyberworlds. key words: cyberworlds for manufacturing, task simulation, motion capture data 1
