MyoRobot 3.0

i) Implementing intelligent Analysis algorithms for biomechanics data (BA / MA)

ii) Establishing fluorescence optics and biological validation (BA / MA) – currently unavailable

iii) GUI and backend development (homogenize and develop scalable LabVIEW source code) (MA)

iv) Rework the mechanical setup based on good manufacturing practices in civil engineering to improve robustness and precision (MA) [PDF]

v) Automating stretch-correction via image detection/correlation or object tracking (MA)

vi) Implementing auto-focus functionality, e.g., through contrast maximization methods (MA)

vii) Impact of repeated eccentric contractions to the calcium sensitivity of the muscle as protective mechanism & titn’s contribution to residual force enhancement in muscle fibres (MA)

viii) Building a ventilated light proof black box to block stray light and filter dust particles and validate its effectiveness via stretch experiments at different speeds (visco-elastic properties of muscle) (BA/MA)

All work packages can be tailored to specific needs/wishes, freely combined and can include biological/physiologically-themed questions on muscle fibre biomechanics
