Abstract

A parametric movement synthesis approach is introduced, which allows the adaptation of a synthesized movement to a specific use case by varying geometrical parameters. This parametric movement synthesis empowers the product developer to optimize products purely virtually in terms of ergonomics and (dis-)comfort by using musculoskeletal simulation. We developed such a parametric model for a lifting movement to analyse several scenarios. The results of the analyses show to what extent this procedure may support the product developer to improve the man-machine interaction of products.

Keywords: human centred design, musculoskeletal simulation, movement synthesis, ergonomics, design for x (DfX)
