— Human walking emerges from synergy of whole body dynamics: not only legs, but also a torso, arms, and a head are compliantly connected with each other by antagonistic muscles. ...
We present a model of human-like reaching movements. This model is then used to give a humanoid robot the ability to imitate human reaching motions. It illustrates that having a r...
— This paper presents a decentralized planning method for generating dynamic whole body motions of multilink robots including humanoids. First, a robotic system will be modeled a...
