Dynamic motions of humans and robots are widely driven by posture-dependent nonlinear interactions between their degrees of freedom. However, these dynamical effects remain mostly overlooked when studying the mechanisms of human movement generation. Inspired by recent works, we hypothesize that human motions are planned as sequences of geodesic synergies, and thus correspond to coordinated joint m...
