Abstract :
This study focuses on the characterization and control of voluntary movements by analyzing motor command patterns, ensuing analysis from involuntary limb movements. As a result, a neuromuscular-like model with two muscle-reflex models is proposed, and motor command patterns are approximated identified from the experimental data. Based on the identified motor command patterns, a control strategy, muscle modulation control, is proposed for possible applications in robotic control using neuromuscular-like models
