The human cardiopneumatic movements

On the Nature of the Cardiopneumatic Movements

F OR more than thirty years it has been known that the air in the respiratory l:ract shows slight periodical oscillations, synchronous in rhythm and time with the cardiac beats, -the cardiopneumatic movements, as they have been called since Landois first gave them the name. C. Voit l observed these movements while breathing through a Miiller’s valve. During a respiratory intermission in which t...

Robotics of human movements.

The construction of robotic systems that can move the way humans do, with respect to agility, stability and precision, is a necessary prerequisite for the successful integration of robotic systems in human environments. We explain human-centered views on robotics, based on the three basic ingredients (1) actuation; (2) sensing; and (3) control, and formulate detailed examples thereof.

On the Principled Description of Human Movements

While the use of technology to provide accurate and objective measurements of human movement performance is presently an area of great interest, efforts to quantify the performance of movement are hampered by the lack of a principled model that describes how a subject goes about making a movement. We put forward a principled mathematical formalism that describes human movements using an optimal...
