exampleEMGTracking.py

This is an example that uses the MocoInverse tool and EMG data to create an EMG-driven simulation of walking. This example is used in hands-on workshops, and accordingly has blanks that users must fill in. See exampleSquatToStand_answers.m for a completed version.

# Part 1a: Load a 19 degree-of-freedom model with 18 lower-limb,
# sagittal-plane muscles and a torque-actuated torso. This includes a set of
# ground reaction forces applied to the model via ExternalLoads, which is
# necessary for the muscle redundancy problem. See the function definition
# at the bottom of this file to see how the model is loaded and constructed.
model = helpers.getWalkingModel()

# Part 1b: Create the MocoInverse tool and set the Model.


# Part 1c: Create a TableProcessor using the coordinates file from inverse
# kinematics.


# Part 1d: Set the kinematics reference for MocoInverse using the
# TableProcessor we just created.


# Part 1e: Provide the solver settings: initial and final time, the mesh
# interval, and the constraint and convergence tolerances.

# Part 3a: Call initialize() to get access to the MocoStudy contained within
# the MocoInverse instance. This will allow us to make additional
# modifications to the problem not provided by MocoInverse.


# Part 3b: Create a MocoControlTrackingGoal, set its weight, and provide
# the EMG data as the tracking reference. We also need to specify the
# reference labels for the four muscles whose EMG we will track.

# Part 3c: The EMG signals in the tracking are all normalized to have
# a maximum value of 1, but the magnitudes of the excitations from the
# effort minimization solution suggest that these signals should be
# rescaled. Use addScaleFactor() to add a MocoParameter to the problem that
# will scale the reference data for the muscles in the tracking cost.

# Part 3f: Tell MocoCasADiSolver that the MocoParameters we added to the
# problem via addScaleFactor() above do not require initSystem() calls on
# the model. This provides a large speed-up.
