Abstract
Simulating human motions in the virtual CAD world is important in the computerized ergonomic design of products and workplaces. The present study introduces a novel, memory-based approach for simulating realistic human motions and presents a motion modification algorithm. in this novel approach, realistic human motions are simulated by modifying existing motion samples stored in a motion database. The proposed motion modification algorithm was found to be able to simulate human motions accurately. The memory-based motion simulation approach has advantages over existing simulation models as it can simulate qualitatively different types of motions on a single platform, predict motions of different styles, and continually learn new motions.
