The University of Michigan, College of Engineering, Center for Ergonomics has created an Affiliates Program for Support of the Human Motion Simulation (HUMOSIM) Laboratory to be operated in accordance with written bylaws and the policies and regulations of the University of Michigan. The concept of this Laboratory was initiated by University of Michigan faculty in close collaboration with a small group of companies who either use human motion simulation, produce technologies that enable its measurement, or develop applications for its use.
