contents This paper addresses the critical and challenging task of developing emulators for simulating human operational motions in industrial workplaces. We conceptualize human motion as a sequence of human body shapes and develop statistical generative models for sequences of (body) shapes of human workers. We model these sequences as a continuous-time stochastic process on a Riemannian shape manifold. This modeling is challenging due to the nonlinearity of the shape manifold, variability in execution rates across observations, infinite dimensionality of stochastic processes, and population variability within and across action classes. This paper proposes multiple solutions to these challenges, incorporating time warping for temporal alignment, Riemannian geometry for tackling nonlinearity, and Shape- and Functional-PCA for dimension reduction. It imposes a Gaussian model on the resulting Euclidean spaces, uses them to emulate random sequences in an industrial setting and evaluates them comprehensively.
