Description
The BIOMEC research group has a Motion Analysis Laboratory for capturing and analyzing human movement. Its set of equipment enables the analysis of movement with precision.
The laboratory has a fully equipped motion analysis laboratory that includes an 18-camera motion capture system, 2 force plates, a 16-channel electromyography (EMG) system, and an in-shoe pressure measurement system. The lab also has a complete workshop where researchers and students design and build in-house all the mechatronic prototypes that are developed.
The aim of the facility is to have a concentrated space where support can be given to the creation and validation of prototypes.
