We explore novel methods for the ambulatory measurement of human activity

Motion prediction and anticipation: prediction is a step forward from just motion measurement, which allow us to solve problems that demand a tightly We explore novel methods for the ambulatory measurement of position/orientation and its derivatives, using optimized arrangements of inertial sensors. Multi-sensor systems give us a way to improve robustness, fault-tolerance and auto-configuration properties, essential for monitoring applications.

Human/Machine Interaction: the real-time ambulatory measurement of human behavior may open new channels of communication between humans and machines ... . Our aim is to explore to what extent this new technology can help to actually improve the interaction between humans and machines with the final purpose of contributing to realize the idea of "robots among people" a reality, specially in the industrial environment where the price to pay for ...
