Introduction
Physical AI Design NSF International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project aims to send U.S. students to conduct summer research internships on devising physics
simulation algorithms, user interfaces, and AI algortihms at The University of Tokyo and Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST).
The project is funded by NSF Office of International Science and Engineering and led by Prof. Bo Zhu at Georgia Institute of Technology, in collaboration with Prof. Takeo Igarashi at The University of Tokyo and Prof. Haoran Xie at JAIST.

Title：
Cartoon Design Challenge with Computer-Assisted Technologies
Abstract：
In cartoon production, to make life-like movements of cartoon characters, an approach, where animators manually draw many images, is often used. However, this approach is time-consuming and tedious, and requires special but empirical skills, making it difficult to design cartoon animations by beginners. If such problem cannot be solved, the animators' skills will be lost in the future. In this talk, I will present several recent works about how to represent stylized animation and how to implement interactive tools from the aspects of computer graphics (CG) and human-computer interaction (HCI) fields.
Bio：
Tsukasa Fukusato is a Lecturer at the School of Fundamental Science and Engineering in Waseda University. His research fields are computer graphics and human computer interaction, in particular, he is interested in unraveling cartoon animators' skills and supporting them. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Pure and Applied Physics at Waseda University in 2017. During 2017-2023, he worked at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology in the University of Tokyo as an Assistant Professor.
