Joint Reconstruction from Upper-Limb Motion-Capture Markers Data
Upper-limb motion is mechanically complex, yet the nervous system performs these movements with effortless coordination. To understand this behavior and enable human-like control in robotics or neurorehabilitation, upper-limb movement datasets are essential. One of the interesting dataset available with extensive modalities is the U-Limb dataset. It consists of a database collected across six European universities, […]Upper-limb motion is mechanically complex, yet the nervous system performs these movements with effortless coordination.

Forschungspraktikum
Unified Microcontroller Inference Platform (UMIP)
Problem: Aktuelle Microcontroller-Evaluierungs- und Entwicklerboards eignen sich nur bedingt, um verschiedenste KI-Methoden – zum Beispiel tiefe neuronale Netze – plattform- und herstellerübergreifend zu testen. EdgeVolution, eine Plattform zur Suche neuer neuronaler Architekturen für Edge-KI auf Basis evolutionärer Algorithmen, nutzt daher eine Auswahl an Entwicklerboards inklusive zugehöriger Power Profiler Kits (etwa Nordic nRFxxx mit PPK2). Allerdings […]Problem: Aktuelle Microcontroller-Evaluierungs- und Entwicklerboards eignen sich nur bedingt, um verschiedenste KI-Methoden – zum Beispiel tiefe neuronale Netze – plattform- und herstellerübergreifend zu testen.

Evaluating Optimization Algorithms for Human Gait Simulations
Are you interested in helping us improve our human gait simulations? We use these simulations to predict the effect of interventions like prostheses and exoskeletons, and to perform detailed biomechanical movement analysis from wearable sensor data. We are looking for a student to investigate the optimization algorithm that we use to generate the simulation. It […]

Benchmarking Energy Expenditure Estimation: AI vs. Metabolic Cost Models
In clinical and sports science applications, the accurate estimation of energy expenditure (EE) is critical for evaluating physical performance, rehabilitation progress, and overall health. Traditionally, EE has been estimated through metabolic cost models based on joint kinematics and musculoskeletal dynamics. However, recent advances in AI particularly in machine learning and deep learning have opened new […]In clinical and sports science applications, the accurate estimation of energy expenditure (EE) is critical for evaluating physical performance, rehabilitation progress, and overall health.
