Human-Like Biomechanics : A Unified Mathematical Approach to Human Biomechanics and Humanoid Robotics Hardback
by Vladimir G. Ivancevic, Tijana T. Ivancevic
Part of the Intelligent Systems, Control and Automation: Science and Engineering series
Hardback
Description
Human-Like Biomechanics is a comprehensive introduction into modern geometrical methods to be used as a unified research approach in two apparently separate and rapidly growing fields: mathematical biomechanics and humanoid robotics. The book contains six Chapters and an Appendix. The first Chapter is an Introduction, giving a brief review of mathematical techniques to be used in the text.
The second Chapter develops geometrical basis of human-like biomechanics, while the third Chapter develops its mechanical basis, mainly from generalized Lagrangian and Hamiltonian perspective.
The fourth Chapter develops topology of human-like biomechanics, while the fifth Chapter reviews related nonlinear control techniques.
The sixth Chapter develops covariant biophysics of electro-muscular stimulation.
The Appendix consists of two parts: classical muscular mechanics and modern path integral methods, which are both used frequently in the main text.
The whole book is based on the authors’ own research papers in human-like biomechanics.
