On Primitives in Motor Control
Motor Control, 2020The concept of primitives has been used in motor control both as a theoretical construct and as a means of describing the results of experimental studies involving multiple moving elements. This concept is close to Bernstein’s notion of engrams and level of synergies.

Motor Functions: Associated Primitive Reflex Profiles
Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology, 1982SUMMARYThe results of reflex/motor activity interactions in 177 normal infants are evaluated. The asymmetrical tonic neck reflex, tonic labyrinthine reflex‐supine, and Moro reflexes were assessed for each child at birth and at intervals up to 12 months.

Tactile Features of Human Finger Contact Motor Primitives
IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 2023The human hand interacts with the environment via physical contact, and tactile information is closely associated with finger movement patterns. Studying the relationship between motor primitives of the finger and the corresponding tactile feedback provides valuable insight into the nature of touch and informs the simulation of humanoid tactile.

Learning perceptual coupling for motor primitives
2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2008Dynamic system-based motor primitives have enabled robots to learn complex tasks ranging from Tennis-swings to locomotion. However, to date there have been only few extensions which have incorporated perceptual coupling to variables of external focus, and, furthermore, these modifications have relied upon handcrafted solutions.

Learning motor primitives for robotics
2009 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2009The acquisition and self-improvement of novel motor skills is among the most important problems in robotics. Motor primitives offer one of the most promising frameworks for the application of machine learning techniques in this context. Employing an improved form of the dynamic systems motor primitives originally introduced by Ijspeert et al.

Tast frames: Primitives for sensory-motor coordination
Computer Vision, Graphics, and Image Processing, 1986Abstract In order to navigate and manipulate objects in the environment, a robot must have a model of itself, its surround, and how it interacts with the surround. The key issues are: what form should these models take; how are they constructed from sensory input; and how are they used? We argue that an extension of object-centered coordinate frames,

Motor Primitives and Rehabilitation
2007 Virtual Rehabilitation, 2007To generate movements the CNS must handle the large number of degrees of freedom of the musculo-skeletal apparatus. Our results show the CNS solves this problem with an architecture based on the utilization of discrete building blocks to construct a variety of movements.

Primitive Reflexes and Early Motor Development
Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, 1997To investigate the relationship between primitive reflexes and typical early motor development, 156 full-term infants with normal 18-month developmental outcomes were assessed using a modified Primitive Reflex Profile (PRP) and the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS) at 6 weeks and 3 and 5 months.

Unsupervised learning of sensory-motor primitives
Proceedings of the 25th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37439), 2004The search for motor primitives has captured the attention of researches in both biological and computational motor control. Yet a theory of how to construct such primitives from first principles is lacking. Here we propose to do that by building a compact forward model of the sensory-motor periphery via unsupervised learning.

Action recognition and understanding through motor primitives
Advanced Robotics, 2007In robotics, recognition of human activity has been used extensively for robot task learning through imitation and demonstration. However, there has not been much work performed on modeling and recognition of activities that involve object manipulation and grasping. In this work, we deal with single arm/hand actions which are very similar to each other
