BioDynamics Lab

The BioDynamics Lab is on the sixth floor (Room 655) of the Fenster Hall. The lab has several computer servers and workstations, installed with either Linux or Windows systems. Each of these computers is equipped with at least one multi-core CPU and one or more Nvidia GPUs. These machines are mostly used for high-fidelity computational physics simulations and machine learning research related to human motions and biomechanics. The lab also includes a student space that can host around 10 students with study desks, cabinets, and bookshelves. Within the lab, there is also a designated space arranged for biorobotics hardware and exoskeleton development research. Available equipment include:
  • OptiTrack motion capture system.
  • Cosmed K5 metabolic measurement system
  • Delsys Triagno Muscle EMG system (16 channels).
  • XSens Awinda motion capture suit with MVN Analyze software.
  • Bertec force plates.
  • Moticon sensor insoles.
  • Gait analysis treadmill.
