Modeling Musculoskeletal Movement Systems: Joint and Body Segmental Dynamics, Musculoskeletal Actuation, and Neuromuscular Control

It is doubtful that anyone would argue that biological motor control systems are less complex than robots. Given that modeling and designing robotic control systems that can walk or manipulate objects is quite challenging to engineers [e.g. (Lee, 1989)], is there any hope for those of us who wish to develop “adequate” models of biological motor control systems? The answer depends on the definition of “adequate”.
