A sensor wall for capture and animation of human climbing strategies

这项提议涉及建造一个传感器墙，用于捕捉和制作人类攀登策略的动画。该提案中的设备将支持目前的NSERC和FQRNT研究项目，这些项目研究基于现实的虚拟人和动物，以及在运动过程中模拟虚拟人和动物。对攀岩运动中所涉及的力和姿势的测量和分析对于这些研究计划的目标的成功至关重要。因此，我请求提供必要的材料和设备，以建造一个传感器墙，其中包括6个装有力矩传感器的货舱。这面传感器墙将是一个独特的设施，因为无论是在麦吉尔，还是据我所知，其他任何地方都不存在类似的设施。由于参与拟议研究的学生的时间和可获得性，延迟购置所需设备将大大限制实现拟议研究目标的能力，还将影响这些高素质人员的形成。

This proposal concerns the construction of a sensor wall for the capture and animation of human climbing strategies. The equipment in this proposal would support current NSERC and FQRNT research programs investigating reality based virtual humans and animals, and the simulation of virtual humans and animals during locomotion. Measurement and analysis of the forces and postures involved during climbing movements is critical to the success of the objectives of these research programs. As such, I request the materials and equipment necessary to construct a sensor wall including 6 holds instrumented with force torque sensors. This sensor wall would be a unique facility, as nothing similar exists either at McGill, or to the best of my knowledge anywhere else. Because of the timing and availability of students working on the proposed research, a delay in the acquisition of the requested equipment would significantly limit the ability to achieve the objectives of the proposed research and would also affect the formation of these highly qualified personnel.
