An Engineering Explanation of Human Vertical Reaching: Optimal Trajectory Planning of Asymmetric Velocity Profiles in the Vertical Plane via a Softplus-Based Generalized Dynamic Jerk Cost Function.
Muhamad Braa Kabbani, A. Marouf
This paper introduces a Generalized Dynamic Jerk cost function to model human vertical reaching, showing it produces more realistic and biomechanically consistent trajectories by incorporating gravitational effects.
