2400151 – Praktikum: Movement and Technology

In this joint course between Informatics and Sports Science, and in the sense of research-oriented teaching, students learn about current research projects of the BioRobotics Lab (Informatics) and the BioMotion Center (Sports Science) at the interface of interface of motor control and biomechanics of human movement. This research involves the use of latest motion capture technology, advanced analysis tools, and partly also assistive robotics technology. Students work in in teams (interdisciplinary teams between students from different study programs are highly encouraged) to carry out motion capture experiments, analyze the results and present them in written and oral form. Depending on the specific project, these motion capture studies are either stand-alone studies just for this course or part of a larger research project at one of the organizing research groups. Students learn to analyze and understand complex scientific topics in the area of human motion capture and motion analysis. They gain in-depth knowledge and practical experience with motion capture technology, experiment planning, and analysis. They also learn how to plan, work together and communicate in an interdisciplinary team. Students will be able to present their project results in a scientific presentation, demonstrate the practical results and answer detailed questions. They can also summarize their project results in writing using Latex and place them in a scientific context. Limited number of projects and participants. Specific project topics will be different each term and will be announced in a presentation during the first semester week. The presentation for SS 2024 will take place on Tuesday, April 16, 8:00 - 9:30 at Institute for Sports Sciences | Building 40.40 | SR 102 Topics
