US Patent Issued to AUTODESK on Feb. 3 for "Machine learning techniques for generating inverse kinematic models for character animation" (British, American Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,541,712, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to AUTODESK INC. (San Francisco).

"Machine learning techniques for generating inverse kinematic models for character animation" was invented by Evan Patrick Atherton (Castro Valley, Calif.) and Dieu Linh Tran (London).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "In various embodiments, an inverse kinematic (IK) modeling application generates models that are used to solve IK problems for object animations. The IK modeling application generates configuration vectors based on a set of joint parameters associated with a joint chain. The IK modeling application executes forward kinematic operation(s) on the joint chain...
