TITLE: Wearable Full-Body IMU Motion Capture System

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Public Safety Communications Research Division Advanced Communications Research Group (671.02)

General Statement of Need:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires two wearable, portable full-body Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) motion capture suits. This system must function without fixed optical camera infrastructure to allow for flexible data collection in various environments. The acquisition includes hardware and software to capture high-fidelity human skeletal data for the development of a motion action dataset. To accommodate a diverse range of test subjects, the requirement includes additional clothing components in various sizes. This acquisition supports research for the public safety communications community.

The Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) promotes the development and deployment of advanced communications technologies through research, development, and standardizations. The Public Safety Communications Research (PSCR) division specifically drives the development of critical communications technologies for first responders. This purchase is in direct support of the mission to provide skeletal data for use in a motion action dataset to evaluate communication technologies. This capability ensures NIST provides the measurement science and data required to support the nation's need to develop and use advanced materials and technologies
