Executive Summary This report serves to document results from a one year research study (July 2010-June 2011) that investigates how computer games and virtual world (CGVW) concepts, techniques, and tools can be employed to create an online virtual world (VW) that supports experiments in decentralized command and control (DCC). We refer to this project and the CGVW we have prototyped collectivel...

Currently, elderly people of 65 years and older constitute 29.1% Japan’s population. Frail patients are 8.7% all older. Frailty is a weak state both physically mentally. The probability illness increases with age. Pole walking an exercise designed to improve muscle strength thereby prevent frailty in people. This study applied musculoskeletal model analysis during pole normal clarify training e...

Many research teams have developed various innovations in the field of assistive robotic exoskeletons for human lower limbs. Especially recent years, because expeditious technological development, much work has been done and published scientific communities. However, publications, different reasons constraints, information available is bits pieces. Most papers only could manage to speak individ...

Traditionally, monitoring biomechanics parameters requires a significant amount of sensors to track exercises such as gait. Both research and clinical studies have relied on intricate motion capture studios yield precise measurements movement. We propose method that captures independently optical hardware with the specific goal identifying phases gait using joint angle measurement approaches li...

This paper proposes to use deep reinforcement learning for the simulation of physics-based musculoskeletal models both healthy subjects and transfemoral prostheses' users during normal level-ground walking. The algorithm is based on proximal policy optimization approach in combination with imitation guarantee a natural walking gait while reducing computational time training. Firstly, implemente...

This paper focuses on 3D Collaborative Virtual Learning Environments, examining the state of the art in both open source and proprietary software. Issues pertaining to the use of open source Collaborative Virtual Learning Environments are discussed, rationalizing the choice of executing a collaborative learning scenario in Second Life. The scenario is then presented and evaluation results asses...
