Workshop Theme
The TriFusion Workshop aims to catalyze interdisciplinary dialogue and innovation at the intersection of computer graphics, artificial intelligence, robotics, and cognitive science. As digital avatars and humanoid robots increasingly act as proxies and collaborators in both virtual and physical environments, there is a growing need to understand and develop embodied intelligence that can fluidly span these domains.
This workshop investigates the shared principles and enabling technologies that support the seamless transfer of perception, cognition, and motor skills across Humans 😐, Avatars 🫥, and Humanoid Robotics 🤖.
We welcome submissions in the following areas:
- Motion capture, tracking, and retargeting
- Data-driven and physics-based human motion generation
- Neural rendering and photorealistic avatar animation
- Cross-embodiment learning and sim-to-real transfer
- Digital twins for embodied cognition
- Collaborative and co-adaptive embodied systems
