Recurrent Gait of Anthropomorphic, Bipedal Walkers
… two rigid-bodied walkers that can sustain anthropomorphic gait down an inclined plane with gravity being the only source of energy were studied using standard dynamical systems methods. This includes calculating the stability of periodic orbits and varying the system parameter to create …

The Anthropomorphic Body as Genre: Comics and Fetish
This thesis examines the anthropomorphic body in comics as a site of fetish, desire, and othering in order to understand the use of such bodies to represent or subvert discourses surrounding gender, race, and power. Because the anthropomorphic body itself is a hybrid and a fetish object, and …

Anthropomorphic visualization : depicting participants in online spaces using the human form
Anthropomorphic visualization is a new approach to presenting information about participants in online spaces using the human form as the basis for the visualization. Various data about an individual's online behavior are mapped to different parts of a humanoid yet abstract form. I hypothesized …
