A philosophical perspective on studies of human movement

摘要: Two issues are presented. 1, A philosophical perspective on the development of computationally-based representation, modeling, control and animation human movement; 2, role played by rigid body dynamics. The central nervous system (CNS) in humans is most advanced amazing natural existence. One needs all tools; experimental, psycho-physical, developmental, neuroscience-based, physiological methodologies, addition to computational method, if there be any hope understanding such a complex thoroughly. For study movement simpler than other brain attributes: vision, speech, memory, learning, hearing, etc. Movement distributed spread over body. It more easily accessible detailed observation. subject easier invasive noninvasive measurement. Computational studies should facilitate spinal cord, possibly design artificial cords for robots, humanoids injured. turn, being rich two way access control, signal processing transmission, help better function. led models that systematic and, at different levels complexity accuracy, imitate motion. allow insertion ligaments, cartilage, muscles, soft tissues. Particular representations dynamics needed modeling skeleton various joints with degrees freedom. They also important implementing contact connection environment, or objects as well as, attributes work, dance, competition, locomotion, Needless say, expected support complement experimental deal posture movement.
