Human Dynamics Modeling: The Digital Biomechanics Lab.

Abstract

Report developed under SBIR contract. This Phase I SBIR demonstrated a novel technique for physics-based simulation of realistic human behavior. The technique combines a control system that uses life-like motion recorded from live humans with versatile and rigorous physics-based simulation. The project demonstrated use of the technique in the context of human running at different speeds, with varying backpack loads and over varying terrain.
