Researchers at Meta's Artificial Intelligence Research Lab and the University of Twente's Neuromechanical Modelling and Engineering Lab in the Netherlands, have co-developed the open-source framework MyoSuite, which combines advanced musculoskeletal models with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to create "digital humans" that mimic complex movements.
The AI-powered digital models in MyoSuite can build realistic musculoskeletal simulations as many as 4,000 times faster than current prosthetics. The researchers claim that they can train the models to do certain complex motor movements, such as twirling a pen or rotating an arm.
Although the main goal of the tool is to model complex human movement to help develop prosthetics, it can also potentially be used for the design of new physical rehabilitation and surgery techniques.
