Gait Simulator Aimed at Free Walking

Free Gait Pattern Generator for the Quadruped Walking Robot ALDURO

The purpose of this paper is to give a short overview of the ongoing work of the combined four-legged and wheeled walking machine ALDURO with special consideration to gait generation in unstructured terrain.

Gait Recognition Considering Walking Direction

Gait recognition is an important research problem in the field of computer vision. The goal is to identify people by analysis of gait patterns. Because the technique can be performed remotely, it has been applied to access control, surveillance, etc. Most research is based on the assumption that people’s walking direction is perpendicular to the camera axis. In this case the silhouette can be e...

Training aimed at nurses

Walking simulator for evaluation of ophthalmic devices

Simulating mobility tasks in a virtual environment reduces risk for research subjects, and allows for improved experimental control and measurement. We are currently using a simulated shopping mall environment (where subjects walk on a treadmill in front of a large projected video display) to evaluate a number of ophthalmic devices developed at the Schepens Eye Research Institute for people wit...

Control of an Omnidirectional Walking Simulator

Simulators are a unique way of replicating any real world scenario. It gives one the opportunity to be in a place virtually without being present there physically. The motivation behind making this simulator was to replicate real world terrains and make a human walk in that environment. The basic application which acted as motivation was training people like soldiers, sportspersons and others o...
