Abstract

The purpose of this half-day workshop is to provide an environment to share some recent exciting advances on human motion analysis and synthesis developed by the very eminent and new scientists in the field. The workshop will include invited talks and poster demonstrations/demos pertaining to many aspects of human biomechanics and robotics, including dynamics, control and simulation of musculoskeletal systems, rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, human-robot interaction, human motor control, human motion synthesis, virtual environments and dynamic simulation. Topics of interest include musculoskeletal dynamics, simulation, and control; Motion reconstruction and tracking techniques; Human motion analysis; Whole-•body dynamics identification; Optimal control techniques for predicting efficient movement patterns; Motion recognition; Computer animation/graphics; Neuromuscular control; Machine learning in biomechanics; Design and simulation of assistive devices; Understanding and manipulating neuromuscular function with electrical stimulation; Virtual reality and character animation.


Support of an IEEE RAS Technical Committee The proposed workshop is in conjunction with an IEEE RAS Technical Committee (TC) on Human Movement Understanding (HMU).
