Research Abstract: 

The aim of my thesis is conceptualize, design and implement a 3D body for
virtual entities. The movements of body must be performed by a muscular
system, in a similar way that a human does the movements of his body. In
addition to the motor execution, the body needs to be able to detect stimuli
that come into contact with him (somatic perception) and the internal
stimuli that are generated by the contraction of the muscular system
(proprioception). So in order to achieve the objective, at present I'm
working on the development of algorithms capable of recreate the behaviour
of the different elements of the body (physiological and neural) involved in
somatic perception and motor execution.
