Robots

Various robots were developed over the last years to investigate on human and animal locomotion. Read about the bipedal BioBiped robot or the developments in the Locomorph project that is focusing on morphology and morphosis.

Prosthesis

To investigate on human muscle-tendon interaction the test environment PAKO was developed. Similar technology is used to perform prosthetic walking and running with the Walk-Run Ankle.

Facilities

The Lauflabor has several facilities and measurement equipment to perform experiments at humans, animals and robots. Details can be found under Facilities.

Experiments

Next to all the project related experiments various experiments are performed during lectures at the Sports Science Institut at TU Darmstadt. Results on small studies and biomechanic background information can be found in the IFS WIKI.
