Energy Optimal Trajectories in Human Arm Motion Aiming for Assistive Robots [PDF]
Modeling, Identification and Control, 2017 The energy expenditure in human arm has been of great interests for seeking optimal human arm trajectories. This paper presents a new way for calculating metabolic energy consumption of human arm motions. The purpose is to reveal the relationship between

A novel Movement Amplification environment reveals effects of controlling lateral centre of mass motion on gait stability and metabolic cost [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 During human walking, the centre of mass (COM) laterally oscillates, regularly transitioning its position above the two alternating support limbs. To maintain upright forward-directed walking, lateral COM excursion should remain within the base of ...

Metabolic costs of brain size evolution [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2006 Abstract In the ongoing discussion about brain evolution in vertebrates, the main interest has shifted from theories focusing on energy balance to theories proposing social or ecological benefits of enhanced intellect. With the availability of a wealth of new data on basal metabolic rate (BMR) and brain size and with the aid of reliable ...

Influences of dynamic load phase shifts on the energetics and biomechanics of humans
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Using load-suspended backpacks to reduce vertical peak dynamic load exerted on humans can reduce metabolic costs. However, is it possible to further reduce metabolic cost by modulating dynamic load phase shift? If so, is anti-phase better than the others?
