Composition of Dynamical Systems for Estimation of Human Body Dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of estimating human body dynamics from 3-D visual data. That is, our goal is to estimate the state of the system, joint angle trajectories and velocities, and the control required to produce the observed motion from indirect noisy measurements of the joint angles. For a two-link chain in the human body, we show how two independent spherical pendulums can be composed to create a behaviorally equivalent double spherical pendulum. Therefore, the estimation problem can be solved in parallel for the low-dimensional spherical pendulum systems and the composition result can be used to arrive at estimates for the higher dimensional double spherical pendulum system. We demonstrate our methods on motion capture data of human arm motion.

The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...

In mechanical and structural engineering, autonomous systems could be found in large deformation problems or c...
متن کاملProposing a 2D Dynamical Model for Investigating the parameters Affecting Whiplash Injuries
This paper proposes a 2D dynamical model for evaluating parameters affecting whiplash. In fact a four segment dynamical model is developed in the sagittal plane for the analysis. The model response is validated using the existing experimental data and is shown to simulate the "S-Shape" and "initial upward ramping" kinematics of the cervical spine and the resulting dynamics observed in human and...

In this paper, the important formation control problem of nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots is investigated via a leader-follower strategy. To this end, the dynamics model of the considered wheeled mobile robot is derived using Lagrange equations of motion. Then, using ADAMS multi-body simulation software, the obtained dynamics of the wheeled system in MATLAB software is verified. After that, ...
