General virtual human design for ergonomics

CAED (Computer-Aided Ergonomics Design) is a hot spot of the current research. This thesis summarizes two parts of the virtual human: geometry and movement system. First the virtual human model must carry physical characteristics of the human body. At the same time the movement system should support the simulation we need. With two parts, we can achieve realistic motion control and certain extent the kinematics simulations. Virtual human, designed in this thesis, can be used universality.
