Human walking analysis in a random walk framework
Measurement, 2023 In this paper, we analyze the human walk movement via a combined deterministic-stochastic model built on top of a random walk framework. By adopting the Laban Effort subcategories to investigate different movement classes, we discuss how stochastic and deterministic forces combine to determine the act of moving and relate the stochastic component to ...

A simple model of human walking
Journal of Medical Science, 2023 Objectives. We investigate the Alexander's inverted pendulum model, the simplest mathematical model of human walking. Although it is successful in explaining some kinematic features of human walking, such as the velocity of the body's center of mass, it

Integration of Human Walking Gyroscopic Data Using Empirical Mode Decomposition
Sensors, 2013 The present study was aimed at evaluating the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) method to estimate the 3D orientation of the lower trunk during walking using the angular velocity signals generated by a wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) and ...

Computer animation of human walking: a survey [PDF]
The Journal of Visualization and Computer Animation, 1999 This paper surveys the set of techniques developed in Computer Graphics for animating human walking. First, we focus on the evolution from purely kinematic "knowledge-based" methods to approaches that incorporate dynamics constraints, or use dynamics simulations to generate motion.

Dynamic analysis of human walking [PDF]
, 1997 Synthetising realistic animations of human figures should benefit from both a priori biomechanical knowledge on human motion and physically-based simulation techniques, eager to adapt motion to the specific environment in which it takes place. This paper performs a first step towards this goal, by computing and analyzing the internal actuator forces ...

Optimization of the Position and Stiffness of Passive Walking Assistance Devices
Applied Sciences, 2023 Walking is a fundamental movement in daily life; however, many factors affect walking that may reduce the mobility of the people. Walking assistance devices can help with gaining mobility back for people who suffer from walking problems.

Theory of Fast Walking With Human-Driven Load-Carrying Robot Exoskeletons
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 Reaching and maintaining high walking speeds is challenging for a human when carrying extra weight, such as walking with a heavy backpack. Robotic limbs can support a heavy backpack when standing still, but accelerating a backpack within a couple of ...

Study on human-SRL synchronized walking based on coupled impedance
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2023 IntroductionSupernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) is a novel category of wearable robotics. Unlike prostheses (compensation for human limbs) and exoskeletons (augmentation of human limbs), SRL focuses on expanding human limbs and enhancing human activities ...

Numerical evaluation of dynamic load models of humans walking on building floors [PDF]
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e MateriaisComposite steel and concrete floors are often susceptible to excessive vibrations caused by human activities because of their slender structural elements. To achieve a precise evaluation, it is necessary to incorporate the effects of dynamic loads in the
