Description:

The major goal of the nine-year research project, funded by NRF, is to develop new ways of understanding, analyzing, and synthesizing the biological motion of humans and animals. We study the motion of humans and vertebrates to understand its generation process and reconstruct biological motion in physically based simulation. Our subjects include humans (biped), iguanas (quadrupled), parrots and pigeons (flying) to capture their biological motion using marker-based optical motion capture, markerless high-speed video, and ground force plates. The practical applications include the control and simulation of a biped robot to make it walk, run, and jump like a real creature while maintaining its balance. We also collaborate with Seoul National University Bundang Hospital for the research in clinical gait analysis. We intend to develop a system that predicts and visualizes gait patterns subject to surgical operation, impaired sensors, and the use of prostheses.

 

Location:

Seoul, the capital of Korea, is one of the world¡¯s most dynamic cities in terms of long history, vibrant culture and ever-improving IT technology. The department of computer science and engineering (CSE) at Seoul National University offers an internationally-recognized education and research environment to its 400 undergraduate and 300 graduate students. Movement Research Lab plays a key role with pioneering spirit in the field of movement research, computer animation, and computer graphics.
