Many data-driven animation techniques are capable of producing high quality motions of human characters. Few techniques, however, are capable of generating motions that are consistent with physically simulated environments. Physically simulated characters, in contrast, are automatically consistent with the environment, but their motions are often unnatural because they are difficult to control. We present a model-predictive controller that yields natural motions by guiding simulated humans toward real motion data. During simulation, the predictive component of the controller solves a quadratic program to compute the forces for a short window of time into the future. These forces are then applied by a low-gain proportional-derivative component, which makes minor adjustments until the next planning cycle. The controller is fast enough for interactive systems such as games and training simulations. It requires no precomputation and little manual tuning. The controller is resilient to mismatches between the character dynamics and the input motion, which allows it to track motion capture data even where the real dynamics are not known precisely. The same principled formulation can generate natural walks, runs, and jumps in a number of different physically simulated surroundings.

Simulate realistic human motion in a virtual world with an optimization-based approach to motion prediction. With this approach, motion is governed by human performance measures, such as speed and energy, which act as objective functions to be optimized. Constraints on joint torques and angles are imposed quite easily. Predicting motion in this way allows one to use avatars to study how and why humans move the way they do, given specific scenarios. It also enables avatars to react to infinitely many scenarios with substantial autonomy. With this approach it is possible to predict dynamic motion without having to integrate equations of motion -- rather than solving equations of motion, this approach solves for a continuous time-dependent curve characterizing joint variables (also called joint profiles) for every degree of freedom. Introduces rigorous mathematical methods for digital human modelling and simulation Focuses on understanding and representing spatial relationships (3D) of biomechanics Develops an innovative optimization-based approach to predicting human movement Extensively illustrated with 3D images of simulated human motion (full color in the ebook version)

The advent of augmented reality technologies used to assist human operators in complex manipulative operations—has brought an urgency to research into the modeling and training of human skills in Virtual Environments. However, modeling a specific act still represents a challenge in cognitive science. The same applies for the control of humanoid robots and the replication of skilled behavior of avatars in Virtual Environments. Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments presents the scientific background, research outcomes, engineering developments, and evaluation studies conducted during the five years (2006-2011) of the project SKILLS–Multimodal Interfaces for Capturing and Transfer of Skill, funded by the European Commission under its 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The SKILLS project evaluated how to exploit robotics and virtual environment technologies for the training of specific skills. This book details the novel approach used in the study to cope with skill acquisition, setting aside the mainstream assumptions of common computer-assisted training simulators. It explores how the SKILLS approach generated new training scenarios that allow users to practice new experiences in the performance of the devised task. Using a carefully designed approach that balances science with practicality, the book explores how virtual and augmented reality systems can be designed to address the skill transfer and training in different application contexts. The application of the same roadmap to skills originating from domains such as sports, rehabilitation, industrial environment, and surgery sets this book apart. It demonstrates how technology-oriented training conditions can yield better results than more traditional training conditions.

We consider a new approach to digital human simulation, using Model Predictive Control (MPC). This approach permits a virtual human to react online to unanticipated disturbances that occur in the course of performing a task. In particular, we predict the motion of a virtual human in response to two different types of real world disturbances: impulsive and sustained. This stands in contrast to prior approaches where all such disturbances need to be known a priori and the optimal reactions must be computed off line. We validate this approach using a planar 3 degrees of freedom serial chain mechanism to imitate the human upper limb. The response of the virtual human upper limb to various inputs and external disturbances is determined by solving the Equations of Motion (EOM). The control input is determined by the MPC Controller using only the current and the desired states of the system. MPC replaces the closed loop optimization problem with an open loop optimization allowing the ease of implementation of control law. Results presented in this thesis show that the proposed controller can produce physically realistic adaptive simulations of a planar upper limb of digital human in presence of impulsive and sustained disturbances.

Multibody forward dynamics models of the human body are often used in predictive simulations of human motion. An important component of these models is contact modelling. For example, foot-ground contact plays a crucial role in obtaining accurate results from a walking or running simulation and contact models of joints are necessary to determine accurate joint pressures. Contact models increase multibody system equation complexity (often dramatically) and can introduce nonlinearities and discontinuities into the system equations. This is particularly problematic in predictive simulations, which may determine optimal performance by running a model simulation thousands of times. A desirable contact model should be accurate enough to recreate physiological motion and contact pressures yet still efficient enough to use in an optimisation. A suitable contact model for multibody biomechanics is volumetric contact modelling. Volumetric contact modelling is ideally suited for large, conforming contacts, as is found in biomechanic applications, and has relatively simple, analytical equations (provided the contact surfaces can be approximated as simplified shapes). Another advantage is that volumetric contact can be used to calculate contact pressure, which is difficult to do with simpler point-contact models. In this thesis, volumetric contact was used in two biomechanics models to test its applicability: an anatomical knee model with tibiofemoral contact and a foot-ground contact model. The volumetric knee model was based on another knee model in the literature, with the contact model replaced with volumetric contact. The volumetric model ran faster than real-time and had similar contact forces to the original model. Further improvements are possible by using medical images to determine the contact geometry and including muscles in the model. A friction model is an important part of some biomechanic contact models, particularly the foot-ground contact model. A literature review revealed that many current friction models introduce discontinuities into system equations or are unnecessarily complex. A novel continuous friction model was developed which uses a minimum number of parameters for easy parametrisation. A novel, three-dimensional foot-ground contact model was developed and validated, for future use in a human gait simulation. The foot model used volumetric contact equations for ellipsoidal geometry (which were derived in this thesis, as an improvement on previous sphere-plane contact models). A gait experiment was used to parametrise and validate the model (except for the friction parameters). The model ran over 100 times faster than real-time (in an inverse simulation) and matched experimental normal force and centre of pressure location (with less than 7% root-mean-square error). It was discovered that the designed gait experiment could not be used to determine the friction parameters for the foot-ground model. A possible alternative was suggested, and the validation of the friction portion of the model was left to a future study. In conclusion, volumetric contact can be used to produce a computationally efficient and accurate contact model.

Here, kinematics of the motion is assumed to be known. It is shown that this approach leads to more realistic values for the contact forces and moments for a human motion task as opposed to the ZMP based approach. The proposed approach appears to be quite promising and needs to be fully integrated into the predictive dynamics approach of human motion simulation. Some other insights are obtained for the predictive dynamics approach of human motion simulation. For example, it is mathematically proved and also validated that there is a need for an individual constraint to ensure that the normal component of the resultant global forces remains compressive for non-adhesive contacts between the body and the environment. Also, the ZMP constraints and stability margins are applicable for the problems where all the contacts between the environment and the body are in one plane; however, the NCM constraints and stability margins are applicable for all types of arbitrary contacts between the body and the environment. The ZMP and NCM methods are used to model the motion of a human (soldier) performing several military tasks: Aiming, Kneeling, Going Prone and Aiming in Prone Position. New collision avoidance theorems are also presented and used in these simulations.
