On 21 October, during the Déjeuners dans un laboratoire (Lunches in a Laboratory) event organised by IN’Partners, researchers, industrialists, representatives of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region and innovation stakeholders were able to discover the GIPSA-lab’s facilities dedicated to studying the human body in motion and its interactions with the environment.
These facilities, which are used for a variety of applications (from high-level sport to rehabilitation, ergonomics, smart mobility and disability assistance), have a common goal: to understand, model and improve human performance, detect fatigue or stress, and design innovative assistance devices. They illustrate the richness of the laboratory’s interdisciplinary approaches, combining biomechanics, signal processing and automation:
- PlateformeBIOMECA platform: 3D motion capture, electromyography, force platforms, voice and respiratory sensors, virtual reality headset, etc. BIOMECA : capture de mouvement 3D, électromyographie, plateformes de force, capteurs vocaux et respiratoires, casque de réalité virtuelle…
- Smart electric bike: real-time analysis of the cyclist's effort, estimation of bioenergetic variables without intrusive sensors, and dynamic adaptation of training strategies using AI.
Many thanks to Olivier MARTIN, Franck KAINE, Nicolas TERMOZ, John J. MARTINEZ MOLINA, Jonathan DUMON, Coriandre VILAIN, Christophe SAVARIAUX, Lionel DARRAS, and Nicolas MARCHAND for their time, dedication, and infectious energy.
