PROJECTS
Movement assistance
The objective of this theme is the development of assistive technologies such as eating assistive devices, arm support, orthoses and exoskeletons.
We are currently working on these technologies. More details to come soon !

Movement analysis with Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)
This project aims the estimation of human movement with inertial measurement units. The latter are composed of 9 miniature sensors: 3 accelerometers, 3 gyroscopes and 3 magnetometers. By combining the information provided by each sensor, it's possible to find the sensor's orientation in space. Then, by placing a sensor on each limb, we can build a skeleton of the user in real time. We use this technology for applications in rehabilitation such as the analysis of the evolution of patients related to motor learning, injury prevention and sport analysis.
We are currently working on these projects. More details soon !
