Description:
This seminar introduces students to motion capture-based biomechanical simulation. This technology is currently applied in medicine, motion analysis, sports, rehabilitation, and industrial ergonomics, and it has emerging applications in novel user interface design. The goals of the seminar are 1) to understand the basics of mocap-based biomechanical simulation and 2) apply it to a case.
Seminar contents consists of three parts: 1. Theoretical bases of biomechanical simulation, in particular in motion tracking, human physiology, kinesiology, and biomechanics.
2. Introduction to practical tools and methods of biomechanical simulation and a protocol for applications.
3. Current applications of biomechanical simulation.
Readings will be related chapters of books or published papers.
Project will be based on OpenSim, free biomechanical models and examples (https://simtk.org/home/opensim). It should take not more than 10-15 hours to complete it. It'll consist of running biomechanical simulation in OpenSim on real motion capture data. Example will be provided later.
Prerequisites:
The seminar is intended for Master students in Computer Science. Except basic math, there is no special prerequisites. However, previous knowledge of physiology, mechanics, modeling, simulation, or computer vision will be helpful.
Requirements and grading:
Participants are expected to give a presentation on a selected research topic and actively participate in seminar discussions.
Students are expected to select, plan, conduct, and report a brief seminar project that involves using single biomechanical simulation.
Final Grade = 50% Presentation + 30% Project + 20% Discussions.
