UMocoD update
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2020 12:06 pm
Hi all,
I recently uploaded an updated version of my "UMocoD" project to SimTk, you can see it here:
https://simtk.org/frs/?group_id=1910
The model and code is adjusted/refined a bit from the earlier version:
- Has a few more muscles (84 total)
- Upper limb torque actuators have activation dynamics
- Matlab code is streamlined a bit
- Metabolic cost is calculated after the optimization finishes
- A more realistic model of joint ranges of motion (functions from the Anderson & Pandy model) is used
A solution is provided for a tracking problem of walking that tracked the data reasonably well with a realistic metabolic cost (~3.6 J/m/kg), it should be a good starting point for doing other simulations. The GRF sometimes have high-frequency wiggles in predictive simulations that I haven't sorted out, but other than that it seems to work pretty well.
Please let me know if you have any issues/questions/problems using it. I don't check the forum for that project much (ever) so it would be better to post something here or email me (rosshm [at] umd [dot] edu).
