Software Web Page On-Line

The software page is finally on-line and the source code of our graphsim toolkit is now available for noncommercial use. More information in the software page.

Graphics Lab Web Page On-Line

The preliminary web pages of the Graphics Lab are finally on-line and running from our graphics server. The address is: graphics.ucmerced.edu. We are probably the Graphics Lab closest to the Yosemite National Park!

Media Coverage: Our Work Appears at Merced Sun-Star's Front Page

"UC Merced assistant professor Marcelo Kallmann is interested in advancing the field of robotics at the university and reaching out to the next generation of computer scientists."

Merced Sun-Star published a story about our work entitled "giving robots human qualities". Pieces of the same story have appeared in several other places. The story can be seen from their website, or from our local copy. We also have a scan of the newspaper front and back page.

Paper Accepted at I3D

Ari Shapiro,  Marcelo Kallmann, and Petros Faloutsos have a paper accepted at I3D showing how arm motions can be planned in synchronization with locomotion. Check out the cool video available here.

Media Coverage: Building Strength in Computer Science

UC Merced newsletter features some of our work in an article available here.
