ANALYTICAL AND AUTOMATIC MODELING OF DIGITAL HUMANOIDS

Abstract

The aim of this article is to achieve a parametric modeling of kinematics, geometrical and inertial properties of the various joints and links which constitute an anthropomorphic biped. The result is the automatic creation of virtual models of humanoid bipeds while respecting intrinsically the inertial and geometrical distribution of each link, according only to two parameters: the total mass and the total height of the system. Future developments are to use the analytical parameters of masses and inertia in analytical dynamic models in order to control humanoids having different masses and heights.
