Description:
-
The workshop aims at bringing together researchers from robotics, haptics, and biomechanics to share the latest computational techniques in human performance and humanoid motion planning, as well as to discuss the emerging perspectives and applications resulting from such advances. It covers aspects commonly associated with human-like control as well as topics from cognitive sciences regarding motor control; including behavior modeling, identification, and control, with applications in assistive robotics, humanoid robotics, and rehabilitation. This intersection of fields of study has been a rich ground for cross-fertilisation, where we see many members of our research community contributing significantly to both the fundamental techniques as well as the development of applications in this area.
This full-day workshop is intended to highlight the latest work in this intersection and to strengthen the efforts to bridge the gap between robotics and human biomechanics research. It aims at providing an environment to share some recent exciting advances on human and humanoid motion modeling and control.
In this workshop we aim to bring together leading researchers from both academia and industry in the area of human movement understanding, modeling and control, as well as researchers applying insights from robotic control strategies to rehabilitation. In addition to lectures, the schedule will provide ample time for a panel discussion and a Q/A session. We also plan to organize an interactive poster/demonstration session to give students the opportunity to present and receive feedback on their work, as well as providing an opportunity for networking.
This workshop is supported by the RAS TC on Human Movement Understanding.
