Performance in competitive diving is dependent on the position of the body during different key moments of the exercise. Therefore, it is important for athletes to receive immediate feedback regarding their pose at these key moments, such that they can improve if necessary. Currently, a manual appro...
Gait simulations based on neuromusculoskeletal models are used to study the control of human movement and can help to understand the interaction between the central nervous system and the body in changing environmental or physical conditions . Deep Reinforcement learning (RL) can learn a controller ...
