Kinematic Analysis Of Human’S Upper Arm Movement For The Development Of Human-Like Social Motions In Anthropomorphic Robot, Mizanoor Rahman

36th Florida Conference on Recent Advances in Robotics

The hand waving motion of a human was considered as a representative social motion because the human can use such motions for social interaction and communication. Twenty healthy human subjects were recruited to participate in the study. A motion capture system was put in operation. Then, each human subject separately showed the hand waving motion in different conditions such as (i) both hands waved, (ii) only left hand waved, and (iii) only right hand waved. The hand waving motion was captured by the motion capture system for each subject in each condition separately. Then, linear displacements, velocities and accelerations along …
