This is a Human-like Upper-limb Motion Planner (HUMP) for the generation of arm-hand movements in humanoid robots.

HUMP: a Human-like Upper-limb Motion Planner

This library is designed to generate human-like trajectories of the arms and the hands of humanoid robots. Human-like single-arm and dual-arm motion is planned with a naturalistic obstacles-avoidance mechanism. The description of the planner and the results of different experimental tests are published in Gulletta, G., Silva, E. C. e, Erlhagen, W., Meulenbroek, R., Costa, M. F. P., & Bicho, E. (2021).
