OpenSim Research Highlights: Symposium at ISB 2017
Learn about the latest research discoveries from leaders in the field of musculoskeletal modeling and simulation.
OpenSim will hold a thematic session at the 26th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) in Brisbane, Australia. The goal of this thematic session is to highlight the diversity of research being conducted with OpenSim. Speakers will discuss new methods for generating accurate simulations of movement and applications of the software to areas such as rehabilitation and the design of robotic assistive devices. The session will also foster discussion about the challenges and opportunities for the future of OpenSim.
AGENDA:
Invited speakers are OpenSim experts and leaders in the field. Speakers will give 12-minute research presentations describing a specific use case of OpenSim. Following each speaker's presentation, we will hold a panel discussion, soliciting questions from the audience about the research talks, as well as the broader challenges and opportunities of using OpenSim for biomechanics research.Session Chairs:
