A Collision Avoidance Algorithm for Human Motion Prediction Based on Perceived Risk of Collision: Part 1-Model Development.

Abstract

OCCUPATIONAL APPLICATIONSDigital human models have been widely used in occupational biomechanics assessments to prevent potential injury risks, such as automotive assembly lines, box lifting, patient repositioning, and the mining industry. Motion prediction is one of the important capabilities in digital human models, and collision avoidance is involved in human motion prediction. We propose an algorithm that will ensure human motions are predicted realistically, and finally, use of this algorithm could help enhance the accuracy of injury risk assessments using digital human models.
