In this paper, we present a system that estimates and visualizes muscle tensions in real time
using optical motion capture and electromyography (EMG). The system overlays rendered …

Embodiments of the invention provide an approach for repro ducing a human action with a
robot. The approach includes receiving data representing motions and contact forces of the …

In this work, we perform the challenging task of a humanoid robot standing up from a chair.
First we recorded demonstrations of sit-to-stand motions from normal human subjects as …

Linked-segment representations of human body dynamics have been used extensively in
biomechanics, ergonomics, and rehabilitation research to systemize thinking, make …

Deformation of skin and muscle is essential for bringing an animated character to life. This
deformation is difficult to animate in a realistic fashion using traditional techniques because …

In this paper, we build a whole-body neuromusculoskeletal network model including somatic
reflex, and identify its parameters through non-invasive measurements and statistical …

A body of effort has been devoted to developing efficient algorithms for kinematics and
dynamics computation of robotic mechanisms, and has been successfully applied to control …

In this paper, we demonstrate that a neuromuscular controller built based on the human
anatomical structure and motion data can realize human-like responses to unexpected …

In this paper, we build a mathematical model of the whole-body neuromuscular network and
identify its parameters by optical motion capture, inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics …

This thesis presents the kinematic and dynamic study of human motion by means of
multibody system dynamics techniques. For this purpose, two biomechanical models are …
