Human-Robot Biodynamics
Abstract
Description
This paper presents the scientific body of knowledge behind the Human Biodynamics Engine (HBE), a human motion simulator developed on the concept of Euclidean motion group SE(3), with 270 active degrees of freedom, force-velocity-time muscular mechanics and two-level neural control - formulated in the fashion of nonlinear humanoid robotics. The following aspects of the HBE development are described: geometrical, dynamical, control, physiological, AI, behavioral and complexity, together with several simulation examples.
Keywords: Human Biodynamics Engine, Euclidean SE(3)-group, Lagrangian/Hamiltonian biodynamics, Lie-derivative control, muscular mechanics, fuzzy-topological coordination, biodynamical complexity, validation, application
