Function analysis method of human´s motion control system

The purpose of this research is to propose a quantitative analysis method to analyze the relationship between the feedforward controller and feedback controller in a motion learning process, and also to assess the effectiveness of this method by experiments. To analyze the mechanisms of the motion control systems, we propose: 1) a control gain identification method, 2) a squared-error separation method, 3) a gradient separation method, and 4) a pattern correlation method. The inverted pendulum is used to evaluate the effectiveness of these methods. Experiments show that the proposed methods are an effective way to separate the motor control system into feedforward control and feedback control. They also disclose the fact that there are two learning processes; one of which mainly performs feedback control and the other mainly feedforward control
