Primitives for Human Motion: a Dynamical Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using tools from dynamical systems theory and systems identification theory we develop the study of primitives for human motion which we refer to as movemes. We introduce basic definitions of dynamical independence of linear time-invariant dynamical systems (LTI) and segmentability of signals and we develop classification and segmentation algorithms for two dimensional motions. We test our ideas on data sampled from four human subjects who were engaged in a simple real-life activity including two movemes. Our experiments show that we are able to distinguish between the two movemes and recognize them even when they take place in an activity containing more than one moveme.

Interactive Human Pose and Action Recognition Using Dynamical Motion Primitives
There is currently a division between real-world human performance and the decision making of socially interactive robots. This circumstance is partially due to the difficulty in estimating human cues, such as pose and gesture, from robot sensing. Towards bridging this division, we present a method for kinematic pose estimation and action recognition from monocular robot vision through the use ...
متن کاملRobot Catching
Our focus is on creating interesting, realistic behaviors for humanoid robots and virtual characters. Among the methods we use to create human-like movements are a template-based approach, where example movements from humans are stored for later use, and a dynamical systems approach where new movements are generated from motion primitives as they are needed. Here we discuss a dynamical systems ...
متن کاملSelforganization of character behavior by mixing of learned movement primitives
The real-time synthesis of natural looking human movements is a challenging task in computer graphics and robotics. While dynamical systems provide the possibility to parameterize behavior in a flexible and adaptive way, the reconstruction of details of human movements with such systems is a challenge due to the large number of involved degrees of freedom. We present an approach for the synthes...
متن کاملModeling of motion primitive architectures using domain-specific languages
Many aspects in robotics, and their omnipresent ideal models, animals and humans, are still not understood or explored well enough, for example producing motions of animaland human-like complexity. To explore the inner workings of systems studying this complexity, the essential concepts of interest need to be made explicit and raised from the code-level to a higher level of abstraction to be ab...
متن کاملVISCOUS NUTATION DAMPER, MODELING AND ANALYSIS
In some aerospace vehicles, the tracking sensors which act in a tracking loop as stabilizer are mounted on a two degree of freedom gyro. The gyro must align its rotor axis with the line of sight in order to remove tracking errors. The tracking precision and sensitivity are functions of the gyros performance. One of the main factors in reducing the precision and producing instabilities is nutati...
