Humans use minimum cost movements in a whole-body task

2020-12-30

Abstract excerpt

Humans have elegant bodies that allow gymnastics, piano playing, and tool use, but understanding how they do this in detail is difficult because their musculoskeletal systems are extraordinarily complicated. Nonetheless, common movements like walking and reaching can be stereotypical, and a very large number of studies have shown their movement cost a major factor. In contrast, one might think that general movemen...
