Abstract
Optimal control theory plays a key role in the study of biological movement. Further progress requires optimal control methods for realistic biomechanical systems, that have a number of distinguishing characteristics. Here we consider available control methods in light of those characteristics, compare them empirically on a 2-link arm model, and propose appropriate extensions.
