Abstract
It is generally thought that human beings have high-performance system in body movement. However, mechanisms of the body movement have not been clarified. In this paper, a kinematical model of a human upper limb is proposed to simulate of human upper limb, and a new technique of measurement is developed. Moreover, a motion capture system with this new technique of measurement is utilized in order to measure and analyze the motion cognition of human upper limb in velocity and manipulability. Finally, discussions of mechanisms between human motion and the human cognition are made.
