Artificial Neural Network for Studying Human Performance

The vast majority of products and processes in industry and academia require human interaction. Thus, digital human models (DHMs) are becoming critical for improved designs, injury prevention, and a better understanding of human behavior. Although many capabilities in the DHM field continue to mature, there are still many opportunities for improvement, especially with respect to posture- and motion-prediction. Thus, this work investigates the use of artificial neural network (ANN) for improving predictive capabilities and for better understanding how and why human behave the way they do.
