Helping students gain a better understanding of biomechanics and ergonomics
Providing tools for students to learn about rehabilitation injuries or difficulty in movement due to sports injuries or congenital difficulties
Developing content for training
General research and development such as for product design, biomechanics, prosthetic design and fitting, architectural and product design etc.
As a controller for teaching robots
