Synopsis

Studies from earlier stages of the course are integrated in such a way that students will gain knowledge and skills in the development of movement analysis system. Fundamental devices of bio-electronic devices and phases involved in product development are covered. Bioinstrumentation for measurements of key parameters involved in the use of bio-interfacing devices is addressed based on virtual technologies. Basic elements required for bio-interfacing devices in movement analysis, sensors and vision are considered. In order to downolad acquired data/signals from sensors and vision, specific Data Acquisition (DAQ) methods will be analysed and tested. Students will be taught synchronisation of signals and data as the critical issue. Based on synchronized data signals, movement model reconstruction will be essential in order to understand the motion. Finally, motion regeneration will be created based on the movement data measured and preprocessed.

Outcomes

After completion of this unit, students should be able to:

  1. develop prototypes of real time systems for movement analysis
  2. utilise bio-interfacing devices, bio-instrumentation and virtual technologies
  3. incorporate varieties of wired and wireless sensors and different vision technologies, video and optical as fundamental elements for movement analysis
  4. construct bio-interfacing devices using the integration of DAQ modules together with virtual technologies as measurement tools
  5. extract preproprocessed data and signals using interactive Graphical User Interfacing (IGUI) programming to reconstruct movement models
  6. understand the key features and phases involved in motion regeneeration development, testing and simulation in order to represent accurate movement in soft-real time
