The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

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 …

Physics-based predictive simulations of human movement have the potential to support
personalized medicine, but large computational costs and difficulties to model control …

In this work, we present a novel control approach to human-robot collaboration that takes
into account ergonomic aspects of the human co-worker during power tool operations. The …

Design of physical systems and associated control systems are coupled tasks; design
methods that manage this interaction explicitly can produce system-optimal designs …

Due to the visual ambiguity, purely kinematic formulations on monocular human motion
capture are often physically incorrect, biomechanically implausible, and can not reconstruct …

Robust locomotion control depends on accurate state estimations. However, the sensors of
most legged robots can only provide partial and noisy observations, making the estimation …

Kinetic analysis of walking requires joint kinematics and ground reaction force (GRF)
measurement, which are typically obtained from a force plate. GRF is difficult to measure in …

Normal human walking typically consists of phases during which the body is statically
unbalanced while maintaining dynamic stability. Quantifying the dynamic characteristics of …

Background A wide variety of indices have been developed to quantify gait performance
markers and associate them with their respective pathologies. Indices scores have enabled …
