Abstract

A motion data connecting method and apparatus for generating a smooth, natural motion connecting an advancing motion and a following motion with a short calculation time and without imposing a condition such as an assumption of cyclic movement on the connected motions is disclosed. A process for connecting an advancing motion and a following motion comprises three process blocks: a first process block for obtaining the current time position, a second process block for calculating a synthesized attitude angle, and a third process block for obtaining a synthesized joint angle.
