Evolving free - form stick ski jumpers and their neural control systems ∗

چکیده
This paper concerns evolution of three-dimensional stick agents in a simplified ski-jumping task. Both body morphologies and control systems are optimized. Evolutionary processes are performed in a range of conditions: the air drag and the friction of the ramp varies. Qualitative and quantitative analyses are presented that show how jump distance, jump height, and flight trajectory depend on environmental conditions. Jumping and landing strategies are investigated, and the most interesting evolved behaviors are reported.

متن کاملSki jumping takeoff in a wind tunnel with skis.
The effect of skis on the force-time characteristics of the simulated ski jumping takeoff was examined in a wind tunnel. Takeoff forces were recorded with a force plate installed under the tunnel floor. Signals from the front and rear parts of the force plate were collected separately to examine the anteroposterior balance of the jumpers during the takeoff. Two ski jumpers performed simulated t...
متن کاملKinematics and Kinetics of Squats, Drop Jumps and Imitation Jumps of Ski Jumpers
Squats, drop jumps, and imitation jumps are commonly used training exercises in ski jumping to enhance maximum force, explosive force, and sport-specific skills. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the kinetics and kinematics of training exercises in ski jumping and to find objective parameters in training exercises that most correlate with the competition performance of ski jumpers. To t...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Take-off and the Transition Phase of the Ski Jumping between the Group of the Ski Jumpers and the Competitors in Nordic Combined
Take-off and transition phase were compared with the use of 2D videography by the competitors in ski-jumping and Nordic combined. The basic material was recorded at the events World Cup Liberec’99 and Championship of the Czech Republic. The quality of the motor abilities that are necessary for the performance was measured in the biomechanical laboratory tests. The take-off velocity as well as t...
