OpenSim Software to Help Design Smart Suits for Soldiers
The OpenSim project has a new contract with DARPA, through their Warrior Web Program. The funds will enable us to add injury risk meters, metabolic predictions, and other tools for performing simulation-based design with OpenSim, all of which will be made available to the biomechanics community. Read more about the project here.
