Abstract
A technique for estimating activity of a plurality of muscles is disclosed. In this technique, for each of two or more muscles included in a musculoskeletal body model, a set of time-series data of muscle state change that accompanies motion of a body is acquired. A correlation between the sets of time-series data for a pair of muscles included among the two or more muscles is calculated. An activity of a plurality of muscles included in the musculoskeletal body model in a motion state that is an estimation target is estimated using an objective function including a constraint using the correlation of the sets of time-series data.
