｜主題：Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for human motion analysis applications in ergonomic sensing
｜摘要：The application of ergonomic motion sensing in the field of motion analysis has attracted increasing attention. This technology combines the basic background knowledge of ergonomics, including human body measurement data, biomechanics, and motion analysis, combined with recent wearable sensing technology and machine learning algorithms, aiming to deeply study the behavior and movements of individuals in daily life. Utilizing an array of sensors and devices, motion sensing accurately records changes in human body movements and posture. Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), integrating accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers, measure orientation, acceleration, and angular velocity, playing a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing human motion for ergonomic assessments, which include evaluating posture, gait, and musculoskeletal stress to identify potential ergonomic risk factors. However, integrating IMUs into ergonomic studies presents challenges such as ensuring data accuracy and reliability, addressing data processing complexities, and optimizing device size and placement to minimize interference with natural movement. This talk aims to provide a clear comprehension of IMUs, focusing on their practical use in ergonomics.
