While children learn to walk, run, climb, and jump in their first years of life and most of us can navigate complex environments--like a crowded street or moving subway--without considerable active attention, developing controllers that can efficiently and robustly synthesize realistic human motions in a variety of environments remains a grand challenge for biomechanists, neuroscientists, and computer scientists. Current controllers are confined to a small set of pre-specified movements or driven by torques, rather than the complex muscle actuators found in humans. +-->
