Mathematics of Human Motion: from Animation towards Simulation
by A.I. Zhmakin
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 91
Description:
Simulation of human motion is the subject of study in a number of disciplines: Biomechanics, Robotics, Computer Animation, Control Theory, Neurophysiology, Medicine, Ergonomics. Since the author has never visited any of these fields, this review is indeed a passer-by's impression.
