Human Motion Simulation

Predictive Dynamics

by Karim Abdel-Malek, Jasbir Singh Arora ...

Simulate realistic human motion in a virtual world with an optimization-based approach to motion prediction. With this approach, motion is governed by human performance measures, such as speed and energy, which act as objective functions to be optimized. Constraints on joint torques and angles are imposed quite easily. Predicting motion in this way allows one to use avatars to study how and why ... Read more
