Reproducible Test Environments for Fall Detection

This video presents the current stage of the REPEAT (REProducible test Environments for fAll deTection) project for simulating activities of daily life and falling motions. Future improvements will involve

• Advanced soft body physics for the precise simulation of elastic body parts
• An increase in the amount of different falling motions with impact-damping reactions

The variation of biomechanical parameters is based primarily on following studies:
