Abstract

Purpose

Human movement system is a Multi-DOF, redundant, complex and nonlinear system formed by coordinating combination of neural system, bones, muscles and joints, which is robust and has fast response and learning ability. Imitating human movement system can improve robustness, fast response and learning ability of the robots.

Design/methodology/approach

In this paper, we propose a new motion model based on the human motion pathway, especially the information propagation mechanism between the cerebellum and spinal cord.

Findings

The proposed motion model proves to have fast response and learning ability through experiments, which matches the features of human motion.

Originality/value

The proposed model in this paper introduces the habitual theory in kinesiology and neuroscience into robot control, and improves robustness, fast response and learning ability of the robots. This paper proves that introduction of neuroscience has an important guiding significance for precise and adaptive robot control, such as assembly automation.
