Our Purpose The Human Motion Simulation Laboratory develops data-grounded models to predict and evaluate realistic human movements. These models can be used by commercially available human computer aided design (CAD) software to enable ergonomic analysis of products and workplaces. History and Location The Laboratory was established in 1998 and is funded by a consortium of industry and government partners. It is governed by written bylaws. The physical facilities for motion capture and analysis reside in the Center for Ergonomics within the Industrial and Operations Engineering Department of the College of Engineering.

Investigators Faculty and student investigators from across the University with expertise in anthropometry, biomechanics, ergonomic task analysis, human posture prediction, neural-motor behavior, and statistical analysis work collaboratively to achieve the HUMOSIM research objectives. Investigators:
Meeting the Needs of our Industrial Partners The development of HUMOSIM models are prioritized by the needs of the partners. HUMOSIM investigators also collaborate with or review the work of other researchers and software developers to ensure that the HUMOSIM models can be implemented and practically applied. In addition, the HUMOSIM database of motions is available for other groups to analyze. Ultimately, results from HUMOSIM models and publications are incorporated into human CAD systems that allow creative and quick design of ergonomically-sound products and workplaces. |
