Abstract
A new study on robotics is now available. According to news originating from Kawasaki, Japan, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "There are many studies analyzing human motion." Financial supporters for this research include Jsps Kakenhi; Waseda University Grant For Special Research Projects. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Meiji University: "However, we do not yet fully understand the mechanisms of our own bodies. We believe that mimicking human motion and function using a robot will help us to deepen our understanding of humans. Therefore, we focus on the characteristics of the human gait, and the goal is to realize a human-like bipedal gait that lands on its heels and takes off from its toes. In this study, we focus on kinematic synergy (planar covariation) in the lower limbs as a characteristic gait seen in humans. Planar covariation is that elevation angles at the thigh, shank, and foot in the sagittal plane are plotted on one plane when the angular data are plotted on the three axes. We propose this feature as a reward for reinforcement learning."
