This research area focuses on the study and development of biomechanical models for the analysis of human movement, human motion capture methodologies, exoskeletons for movement assistance and work support. Applications include disability support prosthetics, devices for work assistance, mechatronic systems for mountain safety, pneumatic systems for rehabilitation and assistance for individuals with disabilities. Special attention is also given to adaptive sports (e.g., Paralympics) in terms of studying sports activities and developing specific devices for their use. Wearable systems that incorporate components with special features (biocompatibility, multifunctionality, etc.) are also explored. The activities involve the application and optimization of innovative production processes and materials, the integration of measurement systems and electromechanical transducers, and the development of algorithms for data collection and interpretation.
