Grey Box Modeling and dynamic of Human Forearm
Introduction
The study of dynamics of human arm has been developed by many researchers. Within
the available research most of them use robot arm as a system that resembles the actual
system of human arm. This can be done by assuming that for both robot and human arm
mechanical ob!ectives of movement and manipulation are identical and by applying the
same la" of physics. Ho"ever this system cannot be used to represent the #real$ human
arm system as its model involves many constraints that cannot be applied to human
model.
Many of analyses are carried out for different activities of human arm. Most of the
current research uses a t"o lin% mechanical structure "ith parameters in the hori&ontal
motion. This can simplify the analysis since the gravity in their models can be neglected.
T.'ode% et.al()**+, studied shoulder elbo" and "rist dynamics and static tor-ue in the
elbo" flexion extension movement. /no et.al (0121, study the tra!ectory planning and
control in voluntary human arm movement. They proposed a mathematical model by
ta%ing account for formation of arm tra!ectory on the basis of optimi&ation theory. They
computed the optimal tra!ectory of human arm by "hat they called #minimum tor-ue
change model$. Ho"ever it is still difficult to define the cost function and ob!ectives of the model.
In many physical systems include human movement system there are some parameters
"hich could not be measured directly. These parameters have to be estimated by using
measurement data. 3ome measurement devices from the conventional one "hich using
electromyography (4MG, video based and sensors. Ho"ever the measurement data can
be corrupted by noise either from the environment or the device itself.
Modeling
4ssentially there are t"o "ays of obtaining mathematical model namely physical model
and system identification. 5hysical model is analytic approach "here basic la"s from
physics are used to describe the dynamic behaviour of the system hence this techni-ue
re-uires physical data of the system. 3ystem identification on the other hand does not

re-uire any physical data. 3ystem identification is a "ay of building mathematical
models based on operational data of the system.
Grey Box is the common method used in 3ystem Identification if the physics of the
system are %no"n and can be represented using ordinary differential or differencee-uations (674s, "ith un%no"n parameters either it is linear or nonlinear model. Grey-
box model 674s specify the mathematical structure of the model explicitly including
couplings bet"een parameters and %no"n parameter values. Grey box modeling is useful
"hen the relationships bet"een variables constraints on model behavior or explicit
e-uations representing system dynamics are %no"n.
The concept of Grey Box modelling has not been applied much in the study of human
arm movement. Burdet et.al employed this concept to examine the concept of stability in
human arm movement. Firstly they derived a computational model of human arm
movements "hich interact "ith the environment by using a !oint space model. They
computed the !oint tor-ue produced by muscles according to an inverse dynamic model
of the planned movements and considers motor output variability and tor-ue dependent
impedance. They then compared the computational model "ith the available data on
human arm movement from previous research.
In our system human forearm is modeled based on the concept of spherical pendulum
"ith t"o degree of freedom. The result geometry model is then determined as model
structure of the system "ith un%no"n parameter.
5hysical Model
The part of human arm "hich "ill be considered in my research is only forearm "ith the
elbo" lin%. To simplify the study I use the concept spherical pendulum "ith t"o degree
of freedom to represent human forearm "ith elbo" as single !oint. Wrist is fixed and
considered as an integral part of forearm. For the mathematical modelling all the lin%s
are considered rigid and friction is neglected at !oints.
For the present "or% 8agrangian 4uler Formulation is used in this "or% "hich is given
