How Cognitive Models of Human Body Experience Might Push Robotics
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019 In the last decades, cognitive models of multisensory integration in human beings have been developed and applied to model human body experience. Recent research indicates that Bayesian and connectionist models might push developments in various branches

On scaling of human body models [PDF]
Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2007 Human body is not an unique being, everyone is another from the point of view of anthropometry and mechanical characteristics which means that division of the human body population to categories like 5%-tile, 50%-tile and 95%-tile from the application ...

Combining protective clothes with human body models for finite element ballistic impact simulations
Communications in Development and Assembling of Textile Products, 2023 The ballistic deformation of an ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene (PE) composite has been subjected numerically to a multi-layered soft ballistic fabric package modelled upon the body contours of the Global Human Body Models Consortium ...

Body models in humans and robots [PDF]
, 2022 Neurocognitive models of higher-level somatosensory processing have emphasised the role of stored body representations in interpreting real-time sensory signals coming from the body (Longo, Azanon and Haggard, 2010; Tame, Azanon and Longo, 2019). The need for such stored representations arises from the fact that immediate sensory signals coming from ...

Dynamic Spatial Tuning Patterns of Shoulder Muscles with Volunteers in a Driving Posture
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Computational human body models (HBMs) of drivers for pre-crash simulations need active shoulder muscle control, and volunteer data are lacking. The goal of this paper was to build shoulder muscle dynamic spatial tuning patterns, with a secondary focus ...

Virtual Assessment of a Representative Torso Airbag under the Fall from Height Impact Conditions
Safety, 2023 A fall from height is the main cause of serious injuries and fatalities in occupational and work-related accidents, especially construction. Falls from scaffolds, ladders, or roofs are very frequent accident scenarios.
