Human motion simulation predictive dynamics / [recurso electrónico] : Predictive dynamics Karim A. Abdel-Malek, Jasbir Singh Arora. - Waltham, MA : Academic Press, 2013. - 1 online resource (xix, 275 pages) : color illustrations
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Chapter 1. Introduction -- chapter 2. Human modeling : kinematics -- chapter 3. Posture prediction and optimization -- chapter 4. Recursive dynamics -- chapter 5. Predictive dynamics -- chapter 6. Strength and fatigue : experiments and modeling -- chapter 7. Predicting the biomechanics of walking -- chapter 8. Predictive dynamics : lifting -- chapter 9. Validation of predictive dynamics tasks -- chapter 10. Concluding remarks.
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, such as speed and energy, which act as objective functions to be optimized. Constraints on joint torques and angles are imposed quite easily. Predicting motion in this way allows one to use avatars to study how and why humans move the way they do, given specific scenarios. It also enables avatars to react to infinitely many scenarios with substantial autonomy. With this approach it is possible to predict dynamic mo.
