SKILL LEARNING BASED CATCHING MOTION CONTROL Gökçen Çimen M.S. in Computer Engineering Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. Tolga Kurtuluş Çapın July, 2014 In real world, it is crucial to learn biomechanical strategies that prepare the body in kinematics and kinetics terms during the interception tasks, such as kicking, throwing and catching. Based on this, we presents a real-time physics-based approa...

In ball sports, it is usually acknowledged that expert athletes track the ball more accurately than novices. However, there is also evidence that keeping the eyes on the ball is not always necessary for interception. Here we aimed at gaining new insights on the extent to which ocular pursuit performance is related to catching performance. To this end, we analyzed eye and head movements of nine ...
