Imitating human motion using humanoid upper body models

This thesis investigates human motion imitation of five different humanoid upper bodies (comprised of the torso and upper limbs) using human dance motion as a case study. The humanoid models are based on five existing humanoids, namely, ARMAR, HRP-2, SURALP, WABIAN-2, and WE-4RII. These humanoids are chosen for their different structures and range of joint motion.
