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 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.

Software Used : Nexus (Vicon Software), SolidWorks(CAD software), Python
Machines Used : Vicon Motion capture Suite, 3D printers
