Specifically, this paper focuses on the replication of ground reaction forces (GRF) generated by humans during movement. They can provide critical information about human-mechanics and be used to optimize athletic performance, prevent and rehabilitate injuries and assess structural vibrations in engineering applications. It is presented an experimental approach that uses an electrodynamic shaker (APS 400) to replicate GRFs generated by humans during movement, with a high degree of accuracy. Successful force reconstruction implies a high fidelity in signal reproduction with the electrodynamic shaker, which leads to an inverse problem, where a reference signal must be replicated with a nonlinear and non-invertible system. The solution presented in this paper relies on the development of an iterative neural network and an inversion-free approach, which aims to generate the most effective drive signal that minimizes the error between the experimental force signal exerted by the shaker and the reference. After the optimization process, the weights of the neural network are updated to make the shaker behave as desired, achieving excellent results in both time and frequency domains. 2026-01-23 2026-01-23 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Heliyon, Junio, 2025 2405-8440 https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/82103 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32858 e32858 12 Heliyon 10 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Elsevier Ltd.
