Abstract
The objective of this thesis is to present how the human body may perceive the direction and velocity of one-dimensional motion and how it may reproduce a visually observed motion via the neuro-musculo-skeletal system. First, an algorithm for the detection and estimation of the direction and velocity of a moving object in a single direction in a plane subspace is presented and tested by computer simulation. Second, the reproduction of a visually observed motion is formulated. The focus of this thesis is on a robot simulation that may mimic the human-system processing while reproducing a visually observed motion. First, the observed motion is recorded in the memory of the robot with a neuro-musculo-skeletal system. Second, the thigh and leg trajectory calculations are implemented. Third, the robot executes the motion using its two-link foot. The executed movement should have the same velocity and size as the observed motion. A model of a two-link thigh and leg is formulated and it is controlled to describe a circular motion at the end point of the two-link foot. The two-link foot is not constructed, but controlled and stabilized using computer simulation. The thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the human central nervous system processing.
