Working on a high-performance Robot Autonomous Reality Capture Stack/SDK deployable on different Robot Platforms. Our core tech uses a combination of SLAM, Machine Learning and Computer Vision in order to deliver mission critical autonomous operations anytime, anywhere.https://www.dconstruct.co/Presentations/Talks:Level 2 Autonomy for Robotics [A31500], Nvidia GTC 2021: https://events.rainfocus.com/widget/nvidia/nvidiagtc/sessioncatalog?search=level%202%20autonomy&search.topic=1625599405048001e1TQ

Creator of the Creature Procedural Mesh and Skeletal Animation Tool:http://creature.kestrelmoon.com/The Creature Animation Editor + all Game Engine runtimes ( for UE4. Unity, WebGL, WebAssembly etc. ) were entirely written by myself ( 1 person ) in C++. Creature features:- My custom advanced physics procedural engine used to auto-generate complicated cloth/muscle/flesh dynamics movement with a click of a button- Usage of Deep Learning/Neural Networks/Machine Learning to automatically rig characters from a raw image + auto-generate Walk Cycle movement- Animated assets authored in Creature easily deployable on a wide range of devices ( PC/Mac/Console/Mobile ) with high performance + minimal memory/disk usage via various compression algorithms- 3D to 2D Motion Capture Retargeting for character animation- Tool deployed for Production Use by major companies: PlayStudios, Bianfeng, Ubisoft, Amazon, NCSoft etc.Creature is the Cutting-edge 2D Animation Software designed to add stunningly fluid animation to your digital content. Take advantage of Creature's Directable Automated Animation Engine and powerful workflow to produce amazingly complex animation in an incredibly easy and time-efficient manner. Creature is the ideal animation Tool for game developers, digital artists and web designers wanting to add that special animated magic to make your content come alive. Creature is being used by major Game Studios like PlayStudios, Bianfeng, Ubisoft, Amazon, Warner Brothers and NCSoft in production titles/work.
