Grasp Planning for Digital Humans. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Aug 2008, Pages: 92
Digital humans have recently had a great impact on
the field of ergonomics. An increasing number of
organizations are now using digital humans in the
design and testing of complex systems. Instead of
classical prototyping approaches used for testing and
evaluation of new designs, these organizations are
relying on simulations in virtual environments to get
feedback about their designs.
Since a primary goal of using digital humans is to
study the interaction between the human and a product
in a virtual world, digital humans must have
sufficient capabilities to manipulate and grasp
virtual objects.
We apply several ideas from the fields of robotics,
pattern recognition and computer graphics to create a
new interactive grasping system for a digital human
called SantosTM that is being developed at the
Virtual Soldier Research Laboratory at The University
of Iowa
