Abstract

Translational modelling aims to bridge biological motor control principles and engineering implementations in robotics, prosthetics, and rehabilitation systems. This paper presents a translational modelling framework based on a dynamic model of the human upper extremity and hierarchical sensorimotor control architecture. The model integrates rigid-body dynamics, inverse dynamics control, optimal trajectory planning, and sensory feedback adaptation. The objective is not only to simulate human movement but to translate biological control principles into engineering control architectures applicable to robotic manipulators and prosthetic devices. Simulation results demonstrate that hierarchical control and redundancy-based flexibility can be successfully implemented in engineering systems, improving robustness and adaptability to perturbations. The study shows that translational modelling provides a systematic pathway from neuroscience and biomechanics to robotics and prosthetic control system design.
