Can Robots Help to Understand Human Locomotion?

摘要

Abstract As robots are becoming increasingly powerful and consequently potentially capable of reproducing human-like movements and interactions, the question appears how these motor skills found in biology could be transferred to the technical system. Such a transfer of biological movements to robots also offers the chance to question and to improve our understanding of the underlying principles on how movements are organized in nature. For this, a new conceptual framework, a test trilogy comparing human, simulation, and robot behavior will be presented and demonstrated exemplary.
