| Research Abstract |
The main result of this project is the development of the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) WB-4, which integrates 3D accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer in a 20x17mm board (2.0 grams weight) - at present the smallest and most performing IMU in the world. During the project this IMU and the previous prototypes was applied in a vast range of applications, such as : performance measurement and assessment for laparoscopy skill analysis, both on the surgeons and on the tools; performance measurement and assessment for neurosurgery; mastication analysis; gait analysis for healthy and disabled persons. All the applications were successful as testified by the published literature and the relative awards, thus validating the proposed approach.
