The Creation of a Robotics Based Human Upper Body Model for Predictive Simulation of Prostheses Performance

This work focuses on the use of 3D motion capture data to create and optimize a robotic human body model (RHBM) to predict the inverse kinematics of the upper body. The RHBM is a 25 degrees of freedom (DoFs) upper body model with subject specific kinematic parameters. The model was developed to pred...
