Generalized Hamiltonian biodynamics and topology invariants of humanoid robots

Abstract

Humanoid robots are anthropomorphic mechanisms with biodynamics that resembles human musculo-skeletal dynamics. This paper proposes a new generalized (dissipative, muscle-driven, stochastic) Hamiltonian model of humanoid biodynamics. Also, (co)homological analysis is performed on its Lie-group based configuration and momentum phase-space manifolds.
