Toward a unifying framework for the modeling and identification of motor primitives [PDF]
A large body of evidence suggests that human and animal movements, despite their apparent complexity and flexibility, are remarkably structured. Quantitative analyses of various classes of motor behaviors consistently identify spatial and temporal ...

Generating variability from motor primitives during infant locomotor development [PDF]
Motor variability is a fundamental feature of developing systems allowing motor exploration and learning. In human infants, leg movements involve a small number of basic coordination patterns called locomotor primitives, but whether and when motor ...

Deriving Motor Primitives through Action Segmentation [PDF]
The purpose of the present experiment is to further understand the effect of levels of processing (top-down vs. bottom-up) on the perception of movement kinematics and primitives for grasping actions in order to gain insight into possible primitives used

Reinforcement Learning for Parameterized Motor Primitives [PDF]
One of the major challenges in both action generation for robotics and in the understanding of human motor control is to learn the "building blocks of movement generation", called motor primitives. Motor primitives, as used in this paper, are parameterized control policies such as splines or nonlinear differential equations with desired attractor ...

Motor primitives—new data and future questions [PDF]
Motor primitives allow integration across scales in the motor system and may link movement construction and circuit organization. This review examines support for primitives, and new data relating primitives to concrete circuit elements across species. Both kinematic motor primitives and muscle synergy/kinetic motor primitives are reviewed.

Segmenting sign language into motor primitives with Bayesian binning [PDF]
The endpoint trajectories of human movements fulfill characteristic power laws linking velocityand curvature. The parameters of these power laws typically vary between different segments of longer action sequences.

Generating Pointing Motions for a Humanoid Robot by Combining Motor Primitives [PDF]
The human motor system is robust, adaptive and very flexible. The underlying principles of human motion provide inspiration for robotics. Pointing at different targets is a common robotics task, where insights about human motion can be applied ...

Lower complexity of motor primitives ensures robust control of high-speed human locomotion [PDF]
Walking and running are mechanically and energetically different locomotion modes. For selecting one or another, speed is a parameter of paramount importance.
