A new methodology, called predictive dynamics, is introduced in this work to simulate human walking using a spatial digital human model. The digital human model has 55 degrees of freedom. The resultant action of all the muscles at a joint is lumped and represented by the torque at each degree of freedom. In addition, the cubic B-spline interpolation is used for time discretization and the well- established robotic formulation of the Denavit- Hartenberg (DH) method is used for kinematics analysis of the mechanical system. The recursive Lagrangian formulation is used to develop the...
