Back to the Future of Ergonomics: Utilizing Inertial Motion Capture and Fatigue Failure Theory to Develop a Cumulative Damage Assessment Method for Estimating Risk of Low Back Injury in Industrial Settings 

Nail Ulloa, Iván Enrique (2023-07-26)  ETD File Embargoed
The central objectives of this dissertation are to critically evaluate the efficacy of a wireless sensor Inertial Motion Capture (IMC) system in estimating lumbar kinematics and kinetics within a controlled laboratory ...

Improving Magnetic Map-Based Navigation using Vehicle Motion Information 

McWilliams, Ryan (2022-01-06)
This thesis utilizes the earth's main magnetic field as the signal for a map definition, implements a particle filter to synthesize a solution from likelihood information, and introduces vehicle motion information by means ...

A Loosely Coupled GNSS/PDR Integration Approach for Pedestrian Navigation 

Jones, Connor (2023-07-28)
Pedestrian navigation systems embody small, lightweight hardware, techniques, and biomechanical information to provide positioning information in an architecture that substitutes, or supplements, traditional systems such ...

Machine Learning Based Approach Using Electromyography to Predict Joint Angles of the Knee 

Coker, Jordan (2020-07-13)
In order for an active exoskeleton and its user to achieve synchronous motion, the intended motion of the user needs to be detected with enough lead-time to process and move the exoskeleton accordingly. This must also ...

Online Rotational Self-Calibration of LiDAR Sensors when Mounted on a Ground Vehicle 

Meyer, Stephanie (2021-08-06)
This thesis presents a method for online extrinsic rotational calibration of a LiDAR sensor with minimal manual intervention. The approach leverages the expected geometry of structured environments common to ground ...
