Abstract: Many safety-critical cyber-physical systems rely on advanced sensing capabilities to react to changing environmental conditions. However, cost-effective deployments of such capabilities have remained elusive. Such deployments will require software infrastructure that enables multiple sensor-processing streams to be multiplexed onto a common hardware platform at reasonable cost, as well as tools and methods for validating that required processing rates can be maintained.

Abstract: Human motion-capture and computational analysis tools have played a significant role in a variety of  product-design  and  ergonomics  settings  for  over  a  quarter-century.  In  moving  beyond traditional kinematic (and its dual-static) settings, advances in biomechanics and multibody dynamics have led up to computational analysis tools that can provide significant insights into the functional performance.
