报告题目：Penetration-free Projective Dynamics on the GPU
报告摘要：
Efficient physics-based simulation with a penetration-free guarantee has always been a big challenge. In this talk, we introduce a GPU-based method for deformable simulation. This method integrates projective dynamics (PD) and incremental potential contact (IPC) by reworking the local-global iteration modality. We present an aggregated Jacobi solver to speed up solving the global step of PD. This solver better exploits the computation capacity of the GPU than the Jacobi solver. Together with a faster CCD processing under the IPC mechanism, our method offers good computational efficiency and a penetration-free guarantee for complicated scenes at the same time.

报告题目：DiffCloth: Differentiable Cloth Simulation with Dry Frictional Contact
报告摘要：
Cloth simulation has wide applications in computer animation, garment design, and robot-assisted dressing. This work presents a differentiable cloth simulator whose additional gradient information facilitates cloth-related applications. Our differentiable simulator extends a state-of-the-art cloth simulator based on Projective Dynamics (PD) and with dry frictional contact. We draw inspiration from previous work to propose a fast and novel method for deriving gradients in PD-based cloth simulation with dry frictional contact. Furthermore, we conduct a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the usefulness of gradients in contact-rich cloth simulation. Finally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our simulator in a number of downstream applications, including system identification, trajectory optimization for assisted dressing, closed-loop control, inverse design, and real-to-sim transfer. We observe a substantial speedup obtained from using our gradient information in solving most of these applications.
