Research & Development

The joint research project DHErgo is promoted by the EU. Its objective is the development of a modern digital manikin for ergonomic product development. During the life of the project, a discomfort analysis and the dynamic simulation of human motions and skeletal muscles will be developed. In future, the DHErgo manikin will be capable of simulating complex motion sequences, task-related loads, the changing of human movements with increasing age and the interaction of the human being with his or her environment.

The joint research project VERITAS is promoted by the EU. Its objective is the development, validation and assessment of tools for built-in accessibility support at all stages of ICT and non-ICT product development, including specification, design, development and testing. The goal is to introduce simulation based and virtual reality testing at all stages of assistive technologies product design and development into the automotive, smart living spaces (buildings & construction, domestics), workplace, health and infotainment applications areas. The goal is to ensure that future products and services are being systematically designed for all people including those with disabilities and functional limitations as well as older people.
