Laboratory of Measurements and Biomechanics

The Laboratory of Measurements and Biomechanics conducts both teaching and research activities. The research activities focus on:

Measurement theory, with the development of probabilistic models and methods
Measurements and models of human movement, both natural and assisted (active and passive exoskeletons)
Dynamic measurements and related signal processing, vibration control with smart materials, and measurements for marine and navigation applications

These activities are made possible by the laboratory's extensive infrastructure, which covers various fields in which the affiliated researchers are engaged. Among them are available:

Semi-anechoic chamber, audio recording system based on binaural mannequin, integrating sound level meter, acoustic signal processing software
Laser Doppler vibrometer, microphones, accelerometers, portable vibro-acoustic verification and calibration systems
Feedback and open-loop shaker
High-performance data acquisition systems, real-time systems
Tri-axial and mono-axial force platforms, load cells, thin-film systems for measuring force and pressure
Optoelectronic measurement systems in visible light
Electromyographs
Inertial measurement systems
Integrated image acquisition and processing systems
Strain gauges and related conditioning and calibration systems
Static and dynamic calibration systems for eddy current sensors

For teaching activities, there are equipped benches with various student workstations, featuring both fixed and mobile installations to ensure greater flexibility and constant updating of the equipment.
