Abstract

This paper discusses the use of motion analysis techniques to establish a computational model of human motion. As a test case, we discuss an experiment that analyzes combined navigation and manipulation motions performed by human subjects. In this particular experiment, we have analyzed the action of walking to a door and opening the door in different settings. We have looked at different variables in this experiment, such as the body part that serves as the steering wheel, gender, and handedness. The results from this experiment form the first step toward a computational model of human motion.
