Angular momentum analysis on Karate roundhouse kicks: a longitudinal case study

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Human gait in reality extends beyond straight-line walking, with some situations even requiring drastic back-and-forth rotations. A smooth and stable execution may seem intuitive, but the underlying mechanics remains unknown. The Karate roundhouse kick may be an extreme case of exhibiting dynamic back-and-forth rotations, but investigating the angular momentum (AM) management can potentially inform stability analysis in dynamic human motions and smoother gait in robots and exoskeletons. This paper introduces two new AM-based measures and analyzes AM-related variables to study the target-less r
