Motion Analysis with Scope of Human Manipulability Sharing Using VR System

Abstract

This paper explains the motion analysis using a new scope of human manipulability sharing (SoHMS). The new SoHMS is composed of a depth sensor and a head-mount-type VR system, which can provide a human manipulability ellipsoid evaluated at the hand/foot to a user in real time. The user can select one of digital human models, and can measure EMG signals (maximum 4 ch) as needed. A set of basic experiments was carried out for the motion task of the spear throwing and shot put by the right arm in order to validate the developed SoHMS.
