Generating variability from motor primitives during infant locomotor development [PDF]
eLife, 2023 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]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 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

Segmenting sign language into motor primitives with Bayesian binning [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013 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.

Toward a unifying framework for the modeling and identification of motor primitives [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022 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 ...

Dynamic primitives of motor behavior [PDF]
Biological Cybernetics, 2017 We present in outline a theory of sensorimotor control based on dynamic primitives, which we define as attractors. To account for the broad class of human interactive behaviors—especially tool use—we propose three distinct primitives: submovements ...

Generating Pointing Motions for a Humanoid Robot by Combining Motor Primitives [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019 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 ...

MACOP Modular Architecture with Control Primitives [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013 Walking, catching a ball and reaching are all tasks in which humans and animals exhibit advanced motor skills. Findings in biological research concerning motor control suggest a modular control hierarchy which combines movement/motor primitives into ...

Kick Control: Using the Attracting States Arising Within the Sensorimotor Loop of Self-Organized Robots as Motor Primitives. [PDF]
Front Neurorobot, 2018 Self-organized robots may develop attracting states within the sensorimotor loop, that is within the phase space of neural activity, body, and environmental variables.

Motor primitives--new data and future questions. [PDF]
Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2015 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.

An error-tuned model for sensorimotor learning. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Current models of sensorimotor control posit that motor commands are generated by combining multiple modules which may consist of internal models, motor primitives or motor synergies.
