Clinical gait analysis has been proven to greatly improve treatment planning and monitoring of patients suffering from neuromuscular disorders. Despite this fact, it was found that gait analysis is still largely underutilised in general patient-care due to limitations of gait measurement equipment. Inertial motion capture (IMC) is able to overcome many of these limitations, but this technology is relatively untested and is therefore viewed as adolescent. This study addresses this problem by evaluating the validity and repeatability of gait parameters measured with a commercially available, full-body IMC system by comparing the results to those obtained with alternative methods of motion capture. The IMC system’s results were compared to a trusted optical motion capture (OMC) system’s results to evaluate validity. The results show that the measurements for the hip and knee obtained with IMC compares well with those obtained using OMC – with coefficient-of-correlation (R) values as high as 0.99. Some discrepancies were identified in the ankle-joint validity results. These were attributed to differences between the two systems with regard to the definition of ankle joint and to non-ideal IMC system foot-sensor design. The repeatability, using the IMC system, was quantified using the coefficient of variance (CV), the coefficient of multiple determination (CMD) and the coefficient of multiple correlation (CMC). Results show that IMC-recorded gait patterns have high repeatability for within-day tests (CMD: 0.786-0.984; CMC: 0.881-0.992) and between-day tests (CMD: 0.771-0.991; CMC: 0.872-0.995). These results compare well with those from similar studies done using OMC and electromagnetic motion capture (EMC), especially when comparing between-day results. Finally, to evaluate the measurements from the IMC system in a clinically useful application, a neural network was employed to distinguish between gait strides of stroke patients and those of able-bodied controls. The network proved to be very successful with a repeatable accuracy of 99.4% (1/166 misclassified). The study concluded that the full-body IMC system produces sufficiently valid and repeatable gait data to be used in clinical gait analysis, but that further refinement of the ankle-joint definition and improvements to the foot sensor are required.

This thesis investigates human motion imitation of five different humanoid upper bodies (comprised of the torso and upper limbs) using human dance motion as a case study. The humanoid models are based on five existing humanoids, namely, ARMAR, HRP-2, SURALP, WABIAN-2, and WE-4RII. These humanoids are chosen for their different structures and range of joint motion.

Texto completoRobots are artificial agents that can act in humans’ world thanks to perception, action and reasoning capacities. In particular, robots companion are designed to share with humans the same physical and communication spaces in performing daily life collaborative tasks and aids. In such a context, interactions between humans and robots are expected to be as natural and as intuitive as possible. One of the most natural ways is based on gestures and reactive body motions. To make this friendly interaction possible, a robot companion has to be endowed with one or more capabilities allowing him to perceive, to recognize and to react to human gestures. This PhD thesis has been focused on the design and the development of a gesture recognition system that can be exploited in a human-robot interaction context. This system includes (1) a limbs-tracking algorithm that determines human body position during movements and (2) a higher-level module that recognizes gestures performed by human users. New contributions were made in both topics. First, a new approach is proposed for visual tracking of upper-body limbs. Analysing human body motion is challenging, due to the important number of degrees of freedom of the articulated object modelling the upper body. To circumvent the computational complexity, each limb is tracked with an Annealed Particle Filter and the different filters interact through Belief Propagation. 3D human body is described as a graphical model in which the relationships between the body parts are represented by conditional probability distributions. Pose estimation problem is thus formulated as a probabilistic inference over a graphical model, where the random variables correspond to the individual limb parameters (position and orientation) and Belief Propagation messages ensure coherence between limbs. Secondly, we propose a framework allowing emblematic gestures detection and recognition. The most challenging issue in gesture recognition is to find good features with a discriminant power (to distinguish between different gestures) and a good robustness to intrinsic gestures variability (the context in which gestures are expressed, the morphology of the person, the point of view, etc. ). In this work, we propose a new arm's kinematics normalization scheme reflecting both the muscular activity and arm's appearance when a gesture is performed. The obtained signals are first segmented and then analysed by two machine learning techniques: Hidden Markov Models and Support Vector Machines. The two methods are compared in a 5 classes emblematic gestures recognition task. Both systems show good performances with a minimalistic training database regardless to performer's anthropometry, gender, age or pose with regard to the sensing system. The work presented here has been done within the framework of a PhD thesis in joint supervision between the “Pierre et Marie Curie” University (ISIR laboratory, Paris) and the University of Genova (IIT--Tera department) and was labelled by the French-Italian University

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are robotic manipulators worn on the human body which seek to augment the abilities of their wearers. A critical element to the design and implementation of these robotic systems is the development of a control framework which allows for intuitive control. The control of SRLs is further complicated by the relative motion of the manipulator with respect to its environment due to motion of the human body. Developing a dynamic model of the human body on which an SRL is mounted can serve as a useful tool, both for understanding the configuration of the SRL with respect to its user and for controlling the mechanism given a well-structured task process model. Subspace identification was investigated as a possible technique for generating a dynamic model of the human body from a set of defined input and output data. To validate the potential applicability of this approach, a simulated system was developed to model simple human arm reaching motions. From this simulated system, a set of virtual measurements were made to construct input/ output data sets. Subspace identification applied to these data sets indicated the applicability of the approach. Further testing was then conducted via the development of an experimental system for measuring actual human reaching motions. Using appropriate measurements, the simulation framework was reproduced with a physical system. Applying subspace identification techniques to the real data, a dynamic model was produced which could effectively reproduce the arm configuration. The success of both the simulated and experimental systems indicates that subspace techniques may be appropriate for generating human body dynamic models.
