Extending the kinematic theory of rapid movements with new primitives
The Kinematic Theory of rapid movements, and its associated Sigma-Lognormal, model 2D spatiotemporal trajectories. It is constructed mainly as a temporal overlap of curves between virtual target points. Specifically, it uses an arc and a lognormal as primitives for the representation of the trajectory and velocity, respectively. This paper proposes developing this model, in what we call the Kinematic Theory Transform, which establishes a mathematical framework that allows further primitives to be used. Mainly, we evaluate Euler curves to link virtual target points and Gaussian, Beta, Gamma, Double-bounded lognormal, and Generalized Extreme Value functions to model the bell-shaped velocity profile. Using these primitives, we report reconstruction results with spatiotemporal trajectories executed by human beings, animals, and anthropomorphic robots.

Affine differential geometry and smoothness maximization as tools for identifying geometric movement primitives
Neuroscientific studies of drawing-like movements usually analyze neural representation of either geometric (eg. direction, shape) or temporal (eg. speed) features of trajectories rather than trajectory's representation …
