OpenSim Webinar: Predictive Simulation of Biological Motion using SCONE

Speaker: Thomas Geijtenbeek, Delft University

Thomas Geijtenbeek, a postdoctoral researcher at Delft University, has released the software SCONE, http://scone.software/ (Simulated Controller OptimizatioN Environment). Unlike traditional simulation approaches, which rely on existing data and cannot predict new behavior, SCONE computes motion trajectories based on high-level objectives such as stability, energy efficiency, and pain avoidance. The open-source software framework provides a graphical user interface and currently supports OpenSim models and simulations. The website provides several examples of tasks which utilize SCONE, including predictions of a standing high jump, healthy gait, and gait for individuals with weak plantarflexors and/or short hamstrings. SCONE builds upon Dr. Geijtenbeek's NCSRR Visiting Scholar project.
