[ACT-R-users] ACT-R: any work combining cognition with motion capture/musculoskeletal simulation?

[Audette, Michel A.]

Hi Sterling,

I also found your ACT-R 3D conference paper
https://acs.ist.psu.edu/iccm2016/proceedings/somers2016iccm.pdf

This paper is exactly what I had mind in reaching out the ACT-R community.

Is any of this code available on GitHub or on the ACT-R website?

I will certainly have questions for you as this project evolves.

Warm wishes,

Michel

Michel,

My PhD work was in an extension to a python implementation of actr in robotics simulator (Morse). There was a (limited) embodied humanoid robot and some vague work on extending actr to more advanced motor execution. Of particular interest at the time, in order to support prediction, I was trying to achieve actr-time synchrony by using actr to trigger the robotics simulator clock.

Sounds like an interesting project.

Dear members of the ACT-R users list,

I'm intrigued by ACT-R, having just heard about it at a conference last week, and in particular, I'd like to find out if there is any work that uses ACT-R in conjunction with a musculoskeletal model of the human, while performing a specific activity (a human operator). In other words, the cognitive processes of an operator of a system (welding, flight, athlete, clinical, military, etc)  along with tracking of his/her gestures in conjunction with this system operation. I would like to couple

I'm a biomedical engineer with interests in both medical simulation and human performance modeling, and I am trying to develop a hybrid human model toward a simulation of the human performance type.

I will probably have more questions for you as my interest in this evolves. Thanks for your kind consideration.

Best wishes,
