The rising importance of movement analysis led to the development of more complex
biomechanical models to describe in detail the human motion patterns. The models scaled …

Intelligent construction is an important construction trend. With the growing number of
intelligent autonomous systems implemented in the construction area, understanding and …

To improve the safety and effectiveness of human-robot collaboration (HRC), the robot must
plan a safe trajectory before the human movement is finished. Therefore, it is necessary to …

Digital human models (DHMs) are critical for improved designs, injury prevention, and a
better understanding of human behavior. Although many capabilities in the field are …

Simulate realistic human motion in a virtual world with an optimization-based approach to
motion prediction. With this approach, motion is governed by human performance measures …

In this study, a novel lifting motion simulation model was developed based on a multi-
objective optimization (MOO) approach. Two performance criteria, minimum physical effort …

Lifting is a main task for manual material handling (MMH), and it is also associated with
lower back pain. There are many studies in the literature on predicting lifting strategies …

This paper describes an efficient optimization method for determining the subject-specific
strength percentile and predicting the maximum weight lifting motion by considering …

OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONS Digital human modeling and simulation software has
