ABSTRACT:
A simulation system for simulating a human activity. The simulation system includes a simulator (10, 120) including a support (12, 122) mountable to the torso of the body and an actuator assembly (14, 124, 126) which includes a storage device (18) having a model of the human activity stored therein. The actuator assembly (14, 124, 126) is positioned to engage the body and formed to produce motion of the body in simulation of the modeled activity. The simulation system also includes the method of simulating a human activity which includes the steps of supporting the body and driving an actuator assembly (14, 124, 126) to simulate the human activity using a model of the activity which is stored in a storage device (18) coupled to the actuator assembly (14, 124, 126).
