Imitation learning of whole-body grasps
… a robot to grasp objects using both hand and whole-body grasps, which use the arms and torso as well as hands. Demonstration grasp trajectories are created by teleoperating a simulated robot to pick up simulated objects, and stored as sequences of keyframes in which contacts with the object …

Dynamic Locomotion and Whole-Body Control for Compliant Humanoids
… presents a complete dynamic locomotion and whole-body control framework for compliant (torque-controlled) humanoids. We develop low-level, mid-level, and high-level controllers to enable low-impedance balancing and walking on compliant and uneven terrain. For low-level control, we present a …

Whole-body biomechanical load monitoring from accelerometry in team sports
… of the external forces acting on their body. Monitoring of the biomechanical load is currently restricted to laboratory settings, but the recent introduction of GPS devices with integrated accelerometers in team sports may enable practitioners to monitor whole-body biomechanical load …

Evaluating Whole Body Vibration and Standing Balance Among Truck Drivers
… long haul freight trucking industry. Exposure to whole body vibration (WBV) from driving or operating vehicles has been shown to negatively affect balance and may contribute to falls when entering or exiting the vehicle. Fall-related injuries are eight times more likely to occur upon exiting the …

Whole body coordination during turning while walking in stroke survivors
This body of work sought to explore kinematic impairments which may underlie falls incidences during turning following stroke and review the evidence for the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving aspects of locomotor coordination which are key to controlling turning. A systematic review …

The effect of whole body vibration on lower body resistance detraining
This study explored the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) with magnitudes between 2.56 g and 7.68 g on detraining of the 5-repetition maximum (5RM) squat, extensors and flexors of the knee and the flexors and extensors of the ankle. All participants were trained using a lower body resistance …
