 The Robot Dynamics project's goal was to simulate a dynamic model of human walking using motion capture and Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs).

My contribution in this team project was to â€‹design and fabricate IMU brackets to mount IMUs on different body segments. and to post process the collected data. 

​

The key feature of these parts were the inner contour , which were made as a generic design to match different thigh and shank profiles. Off-the-shelf IMUs were used in this project and were attached to the outer surface of the bracket and a slot was used to secure the Velcro. 

​

During the study 7 IMUs and 20 Vicon markers were mounted on the subject. The data collected from the study was processed using excel and python and was used to simulate a dynamic model of human walking.
