A Kinematic Model of the Human
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a kinematic model of the human arm in which the workspace of the elbow is modeled as a triangular B ezier spline surface. It is also explained how this model is used for solving forward and inverse kinematics in computer animation systems. In order to solve inverse kinematics problems, it is necessary to nd a curve on the surface modeling the elbow workspace. This curve is obtained as the intersection of the surface and a sphere. We present an algorithm for computing this curve, using the fact that triangular B ezier patch can be eeciently subdivided, and using an oct-tree data structure that prunes the search space eeciently.

Introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (UPS) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. We proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. The proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...

In this work, artificial neural network (ANN) was utilized to develop a new model for the prediction of the kinematic viscosity of petroleum fractions. This model was generated as a function of temperature (T), normal boiling point temperature (Tb), and specific gravity (S). In order to develop the new model, different architectures of feed-forward type were examined. Finally, the optimum struc...

Preferential flow is of great importance in the environment and the human health. So, rapid water transportation and consequently, pollutants and pesticides leak out and get into the groundwater, making it very difficult to measure and quantify. To quantify and describe the preferential flow, two gravity-driven models were used: 1) kinematic wave model (KW) introduced by Germann in 1985), and 2...
