Technology for visualizing skillfulness using motion capture
Visualize the skillfulness of highly skilled workers by comparing highly skilled workers with beginners using motion capture and musculoskeletal simulations.
- Digitize human movement using inertial sensor motion capture.
- Estimate use of the body’s strength through mechanical analysis using musculoskeletal simulations.
- Visualize skillfulness by comparing highly skilled workers and beginners.
- Contributes to improving performance and passing on manual work skills.
Applications
- Task analysis and development for technicians; e.g., machining
Benchmarks, strengths, and track record
- Toshiba developed a method for visualizing skillfulness related to work motion.
- Applying the technology to a comparison of beginners participating in the Skills Olympics and the highly skilled workers who trained them, confirmed that improved skills result in movement with less impact on the body.
- Can also be used to quantify performance improvements before and after training.
