BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: STAN//CS-TR-94-1508 ENTRY:: March 22, 1994 ORGANIZATION:: Stanford University, Department of Computer Science TITLE:: Inverse Kinematics of a Human Arm TYPE:: Technical Report AUTHOR:: Kondo, Koichi PAGES:: 17 ABSTRACT:: This paper describes a new inverse kinematics algorithm for a human arm. Potential applications of this algorithm include computer-aided design and concurrent engineering from the viewpoint of human factors. For example, it may be used to evaluate a new design in terms of its usability and to automatically generate instruction videos. The inverse kinematics algorithm is based on a sensorimotor transformation model developed in recent neurophysiological experiments. This method can be applied to both static arm postures and human manipulation motions. NOTES:: [Adminitrivia V1/Prg/19940322] END:: STAN//CS-TR-94-1508
