About The Project

Researched user-independent, real-time bio-torque estimation for hip exoskeletons using Temporal Convolutional Networks trained on simulated IMU data. Created a Python toolbox for multimodal gait analysis (IMU/EMG/GRF) and clinical metrics (GDI, MGS), supporting studies with stroke survivors.

Achievements

  • Fine-tuned PyTorch TCN to reduce torque RMSE by 22.14% on stroke gait data

  • Generated synthetic IMU (simIMU) from motion capture for cross-device generalization

  • Built a clinical toolbox (IMU/EMG/GRF) over 20 stroke participants with GDI/MGS calculators

  • Ran human-in-the-loop pilots with second-skin sensor suits for real-time estimator refinement

  • Awarded GT President’s Undergraduate Research Award (PURA)
