On Control of Reaching Movements for Musculo-Skeletal Redundant Arm Model by Kenji Tahara, Suguru Arimoto, Masahiro Sekimoto, Zhi-Wei Luo

“…The results suggest that the reaching movements can be achieved using only a simple task-space feedback scheme together with the internal force effect that comes from non-linear properties of skeletal muscles without any complex mathematical computation such as an inverse dynamics or optimal trajectory derivation. In addition, the dynamic damping ellipsoid for evaluating how the internal forces can be determined is introduced. …”
