Human Motion Capture and Analysis Poster Recieves Runner-Up in ICT Day Workshop

Congratulations to Seungkook Jun, Xiaobo Zhou, Dr. Venkat Krovi, and Dr. Daniel Ramsey for receiving runner-up in the recently held Information and Computing Technology (ICT) Day Workshop by the Department of Computer Science Engineering. The poster, entitled Cyber Physical Systems: Quantitative Sensing of Dynamic Behaviors for Progressive Rehabilitation, was presented by Seungkook Jun. The research team sought to determine the feasibility of using commercially available human motion capturing devices (such as the Microsoft Kinect) as economically-viable tools in motion analysis. This analysis is then applied to the design and implementation of rehabilitative devices, including articulated knee braces.

Best Paper Award - ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC 2010)

The ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences (IDETC) and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference (CIE) took place during August 15-18, 2010 at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montréal.

Congratulations to Priyanshu, Madu, Leng-Feng, Dr. Mendel and Dr. Krovi, for the paper titled "Simulation-Based Design of Exoskeletons Using Musculoskeletal Analysis" was selected as this year CIE 2010 Best Paper Award! Dr. Frederick Proctor, Chair of the ASME Computers and Information in Engineering Division wrote in the letter: "We went through a thorough review process that included vetting of the papers through our Technical Committee chairs with a second round of reviews at the Executive Committee level, and your paper stood out as an example of excellent technical results on a difficult problem with cross-disciplinary relevance to computers and information in engineering."

Priyanshu, Madu, Hrishi and Dr. Krovi went to the conference and Priyanshu presented the paper.
